CHINO Corporation (President and CEO: Mikio Toyoda) and Ono Sokki Co., Ltd. (President and CEO: Yuji Oishi), a manufacturer of electronic measuring instruments, have collaborated to co-develop the "Thermal-VRS (Thermal Transient Bench)" for electric vehicles. This T-VRS is a test device capable of evaluating thermal management systems for electric vehicles. By using this test device, it is possible to simulate a vehicle for thermal management components. This allows thermal management development to utilize an advanced development environment that fuses real machines with virtual models, contributing to faster and more efficient development, shorter development periods and man-hours, and optimization of energy efficiency. In conventional internal combustion engine-centered vehicle development, powertrain and HVAC tests were conducted component by component. On the other hand, now that electric vehicle development is mainstream, the two companies teamed up to develop a test device that leverages their strengths to conduct comprehensive vehicle testing. Moving forward, the companies plan to launch this test bench and install it at Ono Sokki's development and manufacturing base, the "Utsunomiya Technical & Product Center," to develop test benches that anticipate the evolution of mobility. The sales launch is scheduled for the end of 2026.
