From the unit, engineers control the operation of the chassis dynamometer and record results. In addition to giving Champion information on how engine condition effect, fuel'usage and emissions, results will be provided to governmental agencies for their use in formulating policies. Heart of the laboratory equipment used in the half -million dollar Champion fuel economy and emissions test program. is a portable chassis dynamometer (right). The dyno enables Champion to bring a sophisticated automotive test lab to places where the average car operates so engineers can determine performance of a cross-section of vehicles. Can tire tested on the dyno to gather results before and after tune-up. Canadian experts .. .
