Drive-In Chambers

Drive-in test chambers for full vehicle testing

CSZ provides drive-in chambers for combined environmental testing to simulate a variety of road conditions and climates. These chambers are designed for full vehicle testing and manufactured to meet your requirements. Drive-In chambers may be constructed using modular/panelized box or fully welded walk-in box depending on your performance specifications.

Drive-In chambers simulate vibration and a variety of climate conditions including solar simulation or infrared lighting. They may be used to test suspension systems, shocks, squeaks, rattles and more. Every chamber may be tailor-designed to meet various requirements and specifications including integration with vibration systems for four post road simulation.
