Performance and consumption measurement 

For tractors, agricultural, forestry and construction machinery as well as special vehicles

DLG TestService offers precise performance and consumption measurements for mobile machines – independent, practical and in accordance with recognised methods. Whether for tractors or special vehicles, our measurements deliver robust data for development, comparison, approval or marketing.

Our tests are based on internationally recognised standards and DLG's own practically proven test methods. They are modular in structure and can be adapted to individual requirements.

Overview of competencies

Engine output (PTO shaft, wheel, hydraulics, power take-offs)

Fuel consumption under various operating conditions

Torque curves, characteristic curves and efficiencies

 

Overall energy efficiency of drive and hydraulic systems

 

Comparative measurements for benchmarking and further development

Modern testing technology for precise results 

Our output test benches are designed specifically for large mobile machines and enable reproducible measurements under defined load and operating profiles. On request, we also carry out on-site tests on the field or at the test site using mobile measurement technology – ideal for prototypes or comparison tests under real operating conditions.
