Ricardo Inc.

Ricardo Inc., the U.S. subsidiary of Ricardo plc, an independent provider of technology, product innovation and engineering solutions to automotive, defense, transport and new energy industries, said it has completed upgrade work to its heavy-duty engine test facility at the company's Chicago Technical Center.

The focus of this upgrade work has been on the Constant Volume Sampling (CVS) systems, enabling the facility to provide certification testing of heavy-duty engines for both on- and off-highway applications to the new EPA 40CFR Part 1065 procedure. Ricardo said the system it is using is similar to that installed at the EPA engine testing facility in Ann Arbor, Mich., both having been supplied by Horiba.
