Developing sustainable transportation solutions together

Our advanced propulsion laboratory has a full range of leading-edge equipment and components for advanced propulsion systems and a generic test vehicle entirely designed by ITAQ. This new universal, modular progressive platform concept will allow a standardization of test practices during the validation of advanced systems.

The acquisition and installation of our R&D equipment was made possible by the financial assistance from the Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI), the Government of Québec and 16 private-sector partners: a project valued at $5.4 million.

Rapid prototyping hardware for energy management and control DSPACE — Model : Microautobox 1401/1501 Enable the development testing and optimisation of control functions rapidly and reliably in real time Specifically designed for prototypes and vehicle testing. Facilitate the integration of major automotive interface systems — CAN, LIN, Flexray — for in-vehicle prototyping Can be used for many different rapid control prototyping (RCP) applications for example chassis control, power trains, body control, X-by-wire applications
