On March 4th, AMG’s “Technikum” technology center in Affalterbach officially started construction. Like its parent company Mercedes-Benz, AMG also follows the direction of electrification.
The new technology center will be completed in 2022 and will have two four-wheel drive test rigs and one high-voltage battery test rig, which can be expanded as needed.
One of the four-wheel drive test rigs will be installed in a climate chamber, which can simulate test conditions at an altitude of 5,000 meters and a temperature of minus 30 degrees Celsius under vacuum conditions.
The high-voltage battery test rig will be able to fully automate the testing of batteries in a temperature range from minus 40 to plus 80 degrees Celsius.
