We were delighted to recently welcome Caterham Cars to Boston, where their engineering team carried out brake testing in our dedicated demonstration bay after hearing positive feedback about our MOT test equipment.
During their initial visit, James and Simon from the Caterham team completed a comprehensive series of roller brake tests, using our D712 Class 4 & 7 brake tester, and some further decelerometer tests using our wireless DC-7500. Working closely with our Product Development Manager, Andy, the session focused on reviewing test results, comparing methodologies and gaining a detailed understanding of the how the equipment is used for periodic vehicle testing.
Having gained valuable insight during their first visit, Caterham returned on a second occasion, this time bringing a different vehicle. This follow-up session allowed for additional comparison and evaluation of brake performance characteristics across varying vehicle setups.
During both visits, the focus remained on practical assessment, data interpretation and understanding how different brake testing methods can support performance engineering. The opportunity to test multiple vehicles also reinforced the importance of accurate, repeatable brake testing in both development and MOT environments.
