DURATION AND RELIABILITY LABORATORIES
MM PWT develops physical components for (gasoline and diesel) engine control systems and for (conventional and dual clutch) transmissions control systems. During the development phase, both full compliance with functional requirements and with the requested quality and reliability objectives must be verified and demonstrated. The components validation activities of Magneti Marelli Powertrain are carried out by applying specific test plans, conducted on representative samples of the various development phases of the products.
The validation process of Magneti Marelli Powertrain applies to three different product/process development phases:
· Initial prototypes à verification of design solutions à Design Validation 1 (*)
(*) specific or special tests are defined from time to time in DV1 depending on the test objective
(**) In DV2 and PV test mode, the quantities of samples to be tested and the test sequence are defined in accordance with the provisions and requirements of customer specifications
Main contents of DV2 and PV plans:
Long-term operation test (up to 2000 hours) under extreme environmental and operational conditions (maximum performances, extreme temperatures, etc.)
Main laboratory equipment:
