The brake test must be performed on a contra-rotating single-axle roller dynamometer for vehicles with four-wheel drive |
Contra-rotating means that the dynamometer rollers of the single-axle roller dynamometer are driven forwards on one side and backwards on the opposite side. |
This prevents brake forces being transferred to the drive train. |
The forward rotating wheel is measured during the test, which means two brake tests per axle must be performed. |
The maximum test speed must not exceed 6 km/h. |
The test rigs authorised by Volkswagen fulfil these requirements. |
