LOCATE will offer powertrain test capability for zero emission, heavy-duty vehicles. It aims to assist Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and system integrators in accelerating their product development and route-to-market by offering platform level system validation and optimisation support. It is anticipated that testing at LOCATE will predominantly focus on demonstrator and prototype vehicles or chassis with fully integrated drivetrains. With the emphasis on zero emission vehicles, LOCATE will only be available to battery electric and fuel cell electric drivetrain. There will be no testing of internal combustion engines. A hydrogen pipeline will supply the facility with low pressure (up to ca. 20 barg) hydrogen to run the vehicles' fuel cells. Additionally, the test capability includes a battery emulator with capacity to charge/ discharge up to 500kW. LOCATE has capability to test drivetrains up to a maximum power of 500 kW. Fuel cell power is capped at 300 kW. The Test Cell layout allows vehicles of up to 15 m length and 2.55 width. Future expansion into 4WD, off-road, vehicles has been allowed for in the design of the facility. Please see ITT documents for full details..
