Apexis Engineering are experts in the detailed design of rolling roads or chassis dynamometers having undertaken a number of projects. There are lots of off the shelf options where the principles have not changed because they work. However, within some industries, especially the automotive manufacturing sector, something bespoke is needed or something that’s not been done before.

For this case study we’ll focus on the 8 automotive industry projects Apexis Engineering has completed, and a large-scale value engineering project completed for an OEM.

These 8 projects have included the design of bespoke rolling roads of chassis dynamometers for challenging size options or footprints, bespoke wheelbase ranges or new to market manufacturers. The work we’ve undertaken has included providing concepts to be used as a sales tool through to the detailed design for commissioned dynos for a range of vehicles from motorcycles to ride on tractor units, cars to buses and HGVs. Our team are involved in all aspects from the motors to use to the design of bed frames, to optimising pit sizes, formulating installation methods, the best floor structure and plate arrangements and the calibration systems. Essentially Apexis Engineering provide the mechanical operation of these systems, and our expertise lies in designing a bespoke dynamometer that meets the requirements.
