Add to this 250 Labs and you have a comprehensive and state-of-the-art facility capable of testing and validating just about everything in a car.
All our vehicles are rigorously tested and evaluated at the crash labs and proving ground at the R&D Centre at Rohtak to meet advanced regulations and our internal stringent design and testing norms. It is also proof of our commitment to fulfill our car lovers’ needs of the latest technology, design and safety features. The Rohtak proving ground has been designed keeping in mind global and Indian roads, as well as, driving conditions, giving credence to our ethos of, 'Made in India, for the World'.
At Maruti Suzuki, each vehicle undergoes rigorous crash tests to ensure protection of the occupants in the event of a crash. Full vehicles, equipped with latest advanced dummies and myriad sensors, are used to evaluate the protection offered by the vehicle structure, safety components and interior parts of the vehicle. Vehicle structure, consisting of an energy absorbing crumple zone and a protected occupant zone, is supplemented by tuned restraint system to offer maximum protection to the occupants.
Tests include: Frontal Impact, Side Impact, Pedestrian Impact, Airbag Sensor Calibration, Low Speed Impact & Rear Impact.
Our Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) testing lab is state-of-the-art semi-anechoic chamber test facility for EMC performance of the vehicle. Various tests are carried out to check unwanted electromagnetic disturbances emitted by the vehicle and to ensure that no malfunctions occur in vehicle due to external electromagnetic environment.
This state-of-the-art testing facility is one of the quietest rooms available in India. These temperature-controlled chambers are integrated with high-performance dynamometers which can attain high driving speeds. The unique properties of this facility enable it to measure vehicle Noise, Vibration, Harshness (NVH) data in a controlled and repeatable environment, eliminating the unpleasant aural and tactile feedback as you drive.
The proving ground at Rohtak has been developed with Suzuki’s technical know-how and is at par with proving grounds of Suzuki Motor Corporation, Japan. The Rohtak proving ground has been designed keeping in mind global and Indian road conditions. Importantly, necessary upgradations are done in the facilities to evaluate vehicle performance as per market needs.
New dynamic brake drag and bearing friction measurement test facilities.
New Pass-by-Noise measurement system.
New side sliding door test facility.
New curtain and side airbag testing facilities, in addition to passenger airbag and seating system validation facilities.
Upgradation of crash facilities to meet Euro NCAP protocols for European markets, and for EV testing.
Addition of Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) simulation capabilities in multiple areas related to chassis and engine development.
