Torture track
Test the entire lifespan of a vehicle in a minimal amount of time.
- 4 lanes, each 900 m long
- 8 surface types, including potholes, washboard, cobblestones, large block wave tracks (Belgian blocks), and hump tracks
- Variety of standardised potholes and driving obstacles from different countries, such as Berlin cushions, speed bumps, Kenya track, and arc humps
The various stressing factors on our torture tracks accelerate the vehicle’s lifecycle to the point that an entire vehicle lifespan can be completed in a very short period of time. For example, one kilometer driven on the large block wave track is equivalent to 75 kilometers under normal driving conditions. Cross rails, sinusoidal waves, potholes, and hump tracks put significant strain on all vehicles, speeding up the aging process of components. Based on the data collected, our development engineers provide recommendations for the overall vehicle.
