Westport Fuel Systems | Ricerca e Sviluppo

Eccellenza made in Italy

Grazie al lavoro della Divisione Ricerca e Sviluppo, Westport Fuel Systems ha lanciato sul mercato il primo sistema italiano a iniezione gassosa di GPL e metano e il primo sistema a iniezione gassosa di GPL per auto ad alimentazione diretta di benzina.

Suddivisa nei comparti meccanico ed elettronico, dal 2011 la Divisione Ricerca e Sviluppo ha il proprio centro operativo in una struttura nuovissima di oltre 4.000 metri quadrati, provvista degli strumenti di lavoro più innovativi e all’avanguardia.

Tra questi spiccano:

Celle climatiche con controllo di temperatura e umidità
Camera shock termici e la camera nebbia salina
Banchi di fluidodinamica equipaggiati per ogni tipo di durata e funzionamento
Banco vibrante elettrodinamico
Banchi prova a rulli e prova motore
