Delphi offers engineering expertise in commercial testing for automotive and other industries

(businesspress24) - Stuttgart, Germany – The Delphi Corp. (PINKSHEETS: DPHIQ) engineering team, located at the Delphi Customer Technology Centre Luxembourg (CTCL), is presenting its broad competence in testing and analysing capabilities at the Automotive Testing Expo show in Stuttgart, Germany. The CTCL specialises in noise and vibration, exhaust emissions, engine durability, electromagnetic compatibility, and electronic systems test and development. With more than 500 engineers and technicians in Luxembourg, Delphi employs state of the art systems to support a wide range of testing and development programs for automotive and non-automotive companies.

Testing resource for automotive and non-automotive companies
The CTC Luxembourg (CTCL) is one of three major European technical centres operated by Delphi, one of the world’s largest suppliers of automotive technologies. The facility is well prepared to host external teams offering conference areas and media connection to discuss and analyse technical test results on-site with high levels of confidentiality guaranteed.

Delphi a professional service provider
“Delphi continues to make significant investments to ensure the capability of CTCL is aligned with the most advanced requirements of the automotive industry,” says Bernard Henrion, External Testing Management. “The facility is engaged in developing new technologies for Delphi’s many European customers and is increasingly asked to support non-automotive programs. In reviewing the overall testing capability available to the automotive and related industries, we are able to offer one of the most efficient infrastructures in the industry which makes the CTCL very attractive. Through our commercial testing operations, we offer professional engineering support service across all industries.”
At the heart of the 27,000m2 facility are two climatic windtunnels, one with altitude simulation combined with exhaust emissions measurement for diesel or gasoline vehicles including 4WD. The second windtunnel is optimised for Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems development. Both provide high-resolution temperature and humidity control and representative front-end vehicle aerodynamics.

CTCL’s noise and vibration capability includes a whole-vehicle semi-anechoic chamber. Designed to help engineers develop quieter automotive systems, the facility is already making an equally valuable contribution to improving the refinement of a wide range of other systems and sub-systems. Exhaust Emissions test facilities include the capability to test to the latest European, US and Californian requirements.
