Bench test
of your vehicle

A power bench, also known as a dyno, chassis dynamometer or test bench, is a mechanical and electronic device used to measure the power and torque developed by an engine. At Shiftech, our dynos can be used to test different types of vehicle, including cars, motorbikes and quad bikes.

This equipment is used by the engine engineers and technicians at our centres to analyse and optimise vehicle performance, as part of our commitment.

Measuring an engine's power and torque is essential for assessing the effectiveness of engine reprogramming. These two criteria are directly linked to vehicle performance:

• Power: this corresponds to the engine's ability to supply mechanical energy as a function of time. The higher the power, the faster the vehicle will be able to accelerate and reach high speeds.

• Torque: this represents the rotational force exerted by the engine on the transmission shaft. High torque improves the vehicle's ability to climb hills or tow heavy loads.

By using a power bench, you can detect any mechanical problems, such as loss of compression or poor combustion, by recording and analysing the logs.

To ensure effective and lasting engine reprogramming, it is also crucial to work closely with our engine engineers.

They have the knowledge and expertise to analyse the data collected by the power bench and make the appropriate adjustments.

What's more, thanks to the use of a log (data recorder), the engine engineer will be able to monitor the evolution of the vehicle's performance and quickly detect any anomalies, so that they can be corrected before the vehicle is returned to the customer.
