Reliable Flow Measurement for R&D Applications and Vehicle Certification

The shift of automotive technologies from internal combustion engine (ICE) to electrified powertrain solutions brings major challenges to the industry. Existing testing facilities need upgrades to fulfill basic requirements for the development of future driveline technologies based on hydrogen as the primary energy source. HORIBA’s HyFQ-2000 series enable test facilities to expand their capabilities with precise and reliable fuel flow measurement for hydrogen. As the design is optimized for a small footprint, retrofits of pre-existing ICE test cabinets are possible. This saves money and provides a quick and efficient solution to respond to a drastically changing and developing market.
