Researchers at the River Road Environmental Technology Centre annually carry out about 1,500 different types of motor vehicle tests by "driving" test cars on a chassis dynamometer. The data obtained gives Environment Canada an idea of the kinds and amounts of emissions being generated by Canada's 13 million automobiles. The dynamometer, a treadmill-like device which, in conjunction with sampling equipment and extremely accurate gas analyses, allows computers to tally a vehicle's emissions of hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and NOx under simulated driving conditions. Automotive manufacturers use similar equipment to certify vehicles before they are mass-produced; the tests serve as spot checks to monitor actual emissions. 2, record 1, English, - chassis%20dynamometer
