Engine and Chassis Dyno Testing
Engine and Chassis Dynamometer Testing Services
Cross Company Testing is able to perform dynamometer (or dyno) testing procedures on both engine and chassis components of vehicles. Our specialized dynamometer test cells allow us to perform a wide variety of testing procedures to the standard your product requires. We can provide simulated environmental conditions as well as other methods to test your engine or chassis to ensure compliance, quality control, compatibility, and end user satisfaction.
While many conceptualize engines as the exclusive domain of cars, there are many other products that require engine testing procedures. Whether it’s a small, handheld engine for a light device or a heavy duty engine for off-road vehicles, engine dynamometer testing is an important component in ensuring intended functionality.
Chassis dyno testing is also a useful tool for ensuring that your vehicle operates the way you need it to when it’s actually on the road. And combining this testing procedure with engine testing can provide a full picture of how a car or other vehicle will fare when it’s actually in the field. Don’t wait until something catastrophic happens. Forecast your future success with confidence with engine and chassis dyno testing methods from Cross.
Chassis Dyno Testing Methods
Chassis dynos are used to measure torque and horsepower produced by a vehicle at the wheel axles. Dynos are able to simulate conditions the vehicle would experience on a street, road, or track. Utilizing these, before and after readings are able to be recorded and used to determine how the vehicle will behave throughout its lifecycle and in different environments.
When testing for chassis applications, dynamometers are used to create a load to simulate different speeds (RPM) and levels of torque (Nm). By taking this data into account, power can be calculated, which allows us to understand chassis performance. This can be used to check chassis performance against specifications or competitors. Dynos are also able to vary the applied load on the chassis, allowing for simulation of a variety of conditions.
Chassis dynamometer applications allow for testing of the entire drivetrain simultaneously. Chassis dyno services are also able to remove the need for road testing on vehicles, which can be another large plus for manufacturers or distributors.

Dynamometer Testing for Your Industry
Dynamometer testing for chassis and engines can provide a significant amount of actionable data. These tests are also able to be performed on a variety of different engine/chassis types, which are making them increasingly valuable to manufacturers and commercial operations. This includes testing four-wheel drive, hybrid engines, and electric vehicles.
Environmental conditions can also be taken into account, including alternating temperatures, alternating humidity levels, and alternating pressure levels.
In today’s competitive marketplace, there is often a fine line that separates one manufacturer from another. Don’t let your research and development process fall behind. Partner with a company like Cross to gain valuable insights into the performance of your product. And ensure that you’re producing a product your end users will be proud to use.

Engine Dyno Testing Methods
Dyno testing for engines is performed in a similar way to dyno testing for chassis. The dynamometer is able to provide accurate RPM and torque data relating to the performance of your engine. Engine dyno testing can help you make informed decisions about your engine structure, components, and materials used. It can also help with future-proofing and accounting for stressors in the field.
Dyno testing can also provide information about
- Horsepower
- Peak torque
- Internal engine temperature
- Exhaust gases
- Record of performance
If you’re looking for reliable, professional engine dyno testing, you’ve come to the right place. Contact Cross Company to learn more or schedule a testing procedure.
Customized Dyno Testing Procedures and More
Often, just one testing procedure isn’t enough to accurately predict how a product will behave in the hands of end users or in its intended operating conditions. That’s why we generally recommend combining engine dyno testing or chassis dynamometer testing with other test procedures we offer.
This can include other physical testing procedures like vibration testing or flammability testing to simulate other conditions the product may be exposed to. Or it can include environmental testing procedures like thermal shock testing, durability testing, or alternating climate testing. Combining these testing procedures is a reliable means of gathering information and generating predictions for future product behavior.
For a product to have success in the field, it needs to be able to withstand many, many stressors. When you partner with Cross for your testing needs, we’re able to simulate many of the conditions your product will face. We can also devise custom testing procedures based on your product, your industry, and your end user needs.
