Driveability
MAHLE Powertrain can deliver engine and transmission
calibrations that capture the customer's requirements and
the vehicle's 'DNA'. Calibrations are developed initially
on a transient dynamometer, and then in-vehicle on
chassis dynamometers and on the road.         Final testing
and validation is performed in territories representative of
the intended markets.
