Hyundai successfully tests 4.25 mn engines with zero emission CBE tech
Chennai, June 25 (UNI) Passenger car makers Hyundai Motor India Limited (HMIL) has successfully tested over 4.25 million engines with its revolutionary zero emission Cold Bed Engine Testing technology - a process that eliminates the need for fuel, coolant, and water. Introduced in 2013, Cold Bed Engine Testing allows HMIL to assess engine performance using electricity from renewable sources rather than traditional fuel-based methods. The system employs smart sensors to analyze key quality parameters, ensuring precision without emissions, a company release said on Monday. Mr. Gopalakrishnan CS, Whole-time Director and Chief Manufacturing Officer, said, "At HMIL, we constantly push the boundaries of innovation to deliver world-class quality while championing sustainability. By successfully testing over 4.25 million engines using zero-emission Cold Bed Engine Testing technology, we have significantly advanced our commitment to eco-friendly manufacturing - curbing over two million kg of CO2 emissions and optimizing efficiency with USD one million in operational savings." "Our fully automated, fuel-free testing process ensures that every engine meets the highest standards while reinforcing our vision of responsible mobility. As we celebrate our 30th year of 'Make in India, Made for the World,' we remain dedicated to pioneering advanced solutions that shape a greener, smarter future for the automotive industry", he said. HMIL's fully automated, zero-emission engine testing process reflects its commitment to sustainability and innovation. As the company continues to set industry benchmarks, this milestone reflects the company's resolve to develop cleaner, more efficient technologies for the future – both in terms of products, and processes.

Hyundai's Green Engine Testing Technology Saves Over 2 Million Kg Of CO2 Emissions
Hyundai Motor India Limited (HMIL) crossed a major landmark in sustainable manufacturing, having tested over 4.25 million engine units using its innovative cold bed engine testing technology - a process that eliminates the need for fuel, coolant, and water. In a first-of-its-kind approach, Hyundai has replaced traditional fuel-based engine testing with a fully electric, zero-emission system powered by renewable energy. Introduced in 2013, this cold bed testing method uses electric motors and smart sensors to evaluate engine performance, making the process not just cleaner but also more precise. The switch to cold bed engine testing allowed HMIL to prevent over 2 million kilograms of CO2 emissions, aligning with Hyundai's global goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2045. In addition to its environmental benefits, the company estimates operational cost savings of nearly USD 1 million, while also enhancing workplace safety and testing efficiency. Unlike conventional hot testing methods that rely on burning fuel, cold bed engine testing involves placing each engine into a dedicated station where an electric motor rotates the crankshaft. A suite of high-tech sensors then monitors various performance indicators - such as crankshaft angle, engine compression, and chamber pressure - to ensure every unit meets Hyundai's quality benchmarks. All data from these tests is stored digitally, contributing to ongoing research and allowing engineers to track long-term trends for continuous product improvement. The fully automated system is also integrated with Industry 4.0 protocols, reinforcing HMIL's push towards smart manufacturing.

Hyundai tests 42.5 lakh engines using cold bed tech. Here's what it means
Hyundai Motor India Limited (HMIL) has reached a milestone for its production operations with over 42.5 lakh engine tests through the Cold Bed Engine Testing method. The Cold Bed Engine Testing method uses electric power instead of fuel alternative verification, looking to reduce emissions and use of resources in engine quality checking. Cold Bed Engine Testing is a non-combustion engine testing technique that allows manufacturers to test engine performance without running the engine on fuel. The technology has been up and running since 2013, suggesting a larger trend within the industry to address greening of production related practices. Gopalakrishnan CS, Whole-time Director and Chief Manufacturing Officer, HMIL, stated that by testing over 42.5 lakh engines using zero-emission Cold Bed Engine Testing technology, the company has significantly advanced its commitment to eco-friendly manufacturing - curbing over 2 million kg of CO₂ emissions and optimizing efficiency with US $1 million in operational savings.

Cold Bed Engine Testing is a non-combustion engine testing technique that allows manufacturers to test engine performance without running the engine on fuel. Rather than using combustion, the crankshaft of the engine is turned with an electric motor. A sensor network captures high-level performance data—involving crankshaft angle, compression pressure, and cylinder performance. This enables precise engine integrity analysis without releasing pollution or needing coolant and water. How the system works Each engine is installed on a Cold Bed test stand, where a crankshaft is driven by an electric motor. High-accuracy sensors track numerous internal parameters when the engine is cold—that is, not started or cycled through heat—while the engine is being tested. Also watch: Hyundai Creta EV unveiled. What does it offer? Launch timeline, range, battery, charging explained All information collected is digitally documented, making it potentially retrievable and usable at some point in the future. This approach realizes Industry 4.0 technologies and removes some of the need for manual monitoring to reduce the time required for testing. Operational and environmental impact The Cold Bed process has allowed HMIL to eliminate the consumption of fuel, coolant, and water resorted to in the validation process by completely avoiding combustion in engine testing. The company says this has avoided a total of 2 million kilograms of CO₂ emissions and resulted in saving about $1 million in operational costs. Apart from emissions and cost, the process is also safer, as it eliminates the risk of handling fuel and running the engine live during quality checks.
