Testing
Olson-EcoLogic is the premier independent emission testing laboratory in California. The 18,000 square foot building is designed to help engineering and administrative personnel serve customer needs. The facility complies with strictly controlled environmental standards and Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) test requirements.
Our testing applications include diesel, gasoline, CNG, LNG and dual fuel in heavy, medium or light engines. All testing follows CARB, CAP 2000 Capability and Federal Test Procedures (FTP). Some of our services include:

OEM and Aftermarket Testing
CARB Executive Order and Certification Testing
Mileage Accumulation
Canister Loading and Procurement
Product Development and Product Evaluation

The test equipment at Olson-EcoLogic makes us a full service laboratory. We test a wide variety of vehicles, including light and medium duty cars and trucks, motorcycles and ATV’s. Transient, Steady State, CVS78, CVS74, HFET, New York, Japan 10 and 11, IM240 and ECE15/60 are just a few of test cycles performed at the laboratory. Gaseous emissions from testing are measured for hydrocarbons (HC: total and speciated), carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2), oxides of nitrogen (NOx), particulate matter (PM) and brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC). Test equipment includes:

Heavy-Duty Engine Dyno Test Cells (500 HP and 1,500 HP)
Small Engine Dyno Test Cells (5 HP, 25 HP, 45 HP, and 200 HP)
Motorcycle and ATV Chassis Dyno
Light and Medium Duty Chassis Dyno
10 ft. x 10 ft. x 30 ft. Evaporative Emission Test Cell (known as a SHED)

To expand the capabilities of our gaseous emissions and particulate testing equipment, Olson-EcoLogic recently founded its Chemistry Department. This division added analytical instrumentation to perform additional chemical analysis on gaseous emissions, particulate matter (PM), and fuels. Some of these analytical methods include sampling for carbonyls and polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons, analysis of the soluble organic fraction (SOF) of PM, along with sampling and complete speciation of aromatic hydrocarbons by gas chromatography.
