Due to new emission limits introduced to protect health and the environment, more and more measurements and tests are being prescribed by law. We at Bosch Engineering support you in the area of RDE by helping you establish a development strategy and by measuring RDE already at an early stage of the development process. So-called RDE frontloading makes it possible to achieve reliable system verification, identify critical recursions early on, and reduce the number of project iterations, thus saving time and development costs. Together with other Bosch divisions, we have a wide variety of testing facilities at our disposal, including altitude and climatic chassis dynamometers, portable emissions measurement systems (PEMS) for measuring emissions under real-world operating conditions, and environmental simulation facilities (temperature-controlled chassis dynamometer). We also provide a tool chain on the dynamic engine test bench called the virtual interconnected testing environment (VITE), which is used for testing vehicle variants and different RDE test routes.
Our services on our test benches:
-
Analysis and calibration of diesel, gasoline, and hybrid powertrain systems taking into consideration reproducible RDE aspects on the engine test bench and in the vehicle
-
Emission analysis and emission calibration for variants
-
Monitoring of the combustion process and exhaust-gas treatment concepts at an early stage under consideration of RDE engineering
-
Evaluation of new components within the system
-
Special testing: OBD, GPS-based functions, exhaust-gas treatment performance
-
Variations due to different routes, traffic conditions, individual driving styles, etc.
-
Systems development with real and virtual components in an interconnected setup on engine test benches
