Abstract
A system and method for tracked vehicle dynamometer testing. The dynamometer system may be configured as a treadmill electric chassis dynamometer having dual, parallel endless belts positioned as substantially flat surfaces with cleats, i.e., the tracks of a test vehicle and a dynamometer vehicle. The track assemblies of the test vehicle and the dynamometer vehicle are generally vertically, mechanically coupled in close contact with each other via a retention fixture. The testing may be conducted in a climatic chamber to simulate various environmental conditions.
