Cold Testing

Test Your Vehicles, Engines, and Components Under Extreme Temperatures.

Rapid product development cycles depend on plannable work. Waiting for the weather to diagnose or validate a product feature adds months of schedule and uncertainty to development programs, and working in weather can be inconvenient and dangerous. The TRP Cold Testing Facilities offer a controlled environment that removes technical, cost, and measurement uncertainty from your development program.

TRP provides cold testing services for a wide variety of vehicles, engines and components, from multiple passenger cars and small components to heavy-duty commercial trucks, engines and generator sets. We can conduct testing at sea level, high altitude or via environmental simulation.
