This test rig enables vehicles to be tested in the laboratory whilst simulating driving over road, or proving ground surfaces. Typically used for early durability testing, problem identification and suspension tuning. Normally configured as a 4 channel tyre coupled rig it can be quickly adapted to include additional channels and to move to chassis coupled configuration.
