Test per motociclette

CARB Motorcycle OBD Regulations Are Coming…

Il collaudo diagnostico di bordo (OBD) sarà obbligatorio per tutti i motocicli negli Stati Uniti a partire dall’anno modello 2024. Il California Air Resources Board (CARB) sta valutando le attuali normative europee e definendo le modalità di elaborazione delle normative statunitensi per i motocicli. Il CARB sta attualmente collaudando motocicli e raccogliendo dati per acquisire una comprensione più approfondita di ciò che intende rendere obbligatorio. Uno scenario auspicato dai produttori è che il CARB decida di armonizzare le proprie normative con quelle europee, rendendole simili tra loro.

Winterpark Motorcycle Dyno

In preparation of the California Air Resources Board’s (CARB) new emission standards for On-Road Motorcycles (ONMC), WinterPark has invested in a SuperFlow CycleDyn chassis dynamometer. There are many benefits that come with owning our own in-house dyno such as year-round testing and the ability to follow prescribed drive traces in a safe controlled environment. The dyno is setup with a Burke-Porter driver aid program so cycles, such as the World Motorcycle Test Cycle (WMTC), can be performed. In addition to dyno testing, WinterPark has licensed motorcycle drivers who can perform on-road testing to validate calibrations and generate statistical data under real world driving conditions.

Since 2018 WinterPark has been working with motorcycle manufacturers to develop their OBD systems to comply with the current European motorcycle regulations. We are able to apply the experience we have in the automotive sector and apply those lessons learned to the motorcycle industry, so our customers are prepared for the upcoming CARB regulations. We are active participants in the CARB working group meetings to help develop the new motorcycle regulations and stay informed during the rule making process.
