Under the contract, AVL will provide their latest iGeneration technology in fully automated emission, sampling and measurements instrumentation to test a wide range of vehicles under various simulated climate scenarios.
These include 1,000- to 14,000-pound vehicles with single- or dual-drive axles fueled by gasoline, alcohol and other oxygenated fuels, gaseous fuels and diesel or bio-diesel fuel.
As a result of the Renewable Fuel Standard program, increased emphasis will be placed at the EPA Laboratory on testing vehicles operated on renewable fuels at both cold-temperature and high-temperature conditions.
The company said the contract covers Sampling, Analytical and Automation Equipment for the new Cold Test and SC03 Vehicle Emissions Test Facilities.
AVL will be providing AMAi60s for sampling and measurement of diluted and raw exhaust, a CVSi60 Constant Volume Sampler with two independent dilution tunnels for clean and dirty exhaust samples.
The company will also provide a PSSi60 for particulate sampling and its PUMA automation system with the iGEM Vehicle Emission testing application software.
AVL is an independent company engaged in the development, simulation and testing technology of powertrains for passenger cars, trucks and large engines.
