MTS test solution accelerates deployment of energy recovery technology in hybrid-electric vehicle systems

USA: MTS Systems Corp., a leading global supplier of high-performance test systems and position sensors, announced the availability of the MTS 'ERS Test Solution', designed to help automotive companies introduce and optimize Energy Recovery Systems (ERS) in their hybrid-electric vehicles.

This unique test system spans the performance range from Formula One racing to high-volume commercial passenger vehicles, bringing reduced development cycle times and realistic operating conditions to these hybrid vehicle systems.

ERS technologies are the heart of next generation hybrid-electric vehicles, recovering the energy produced by braking and exhaust gas.  Recovered energy is converted to electric power that can be stored or used immediately to boost vehicle power and fuel efficiency.

Successfully integrating ERS technologies into a vehicle platform requires considerable development and complex testing. Leveraging its experience in designing and manufacturing ERS components for Formula 1 racing teams, MTS has developed an accurate and repeatable means of performing such tests, greatly accelerating the process of ERS integration for any given vehicle.
