LORRTEC design office

The expertise of our design office enables us to design and develop all mechanical components linked to the engine, with the aim of enhancing performance and/or reliability. We work on prototypes or small series for our own specific internal needs or for external orders (manufacturers, private teams, etc.). We are constantly designing and developing new parts such as pistons, connecting rods, camshafts, valves, crankshafts, etc., as well as castings (cylinder heads, manifolds, blocks, etc.) for all types of internal combustion engines, both modern and historic.

Vehicle and engine test benches LORRTEC

We are equipped with a 4WD ROTOTEST 1000hp vehicle test bench, comparable to a set of engine benches coupled to each driving wheel of the vehicle. This measuring instrument is extremely precise thanks to the high-resolution torque sensors measuring the force directly at the wheel hubs. Dynamic and stabilized measurements can thus be performed during engine tuning.

We also have a SCHENCK engine test bench from Formula 1 allowing us to fine-tune all types of engines with power up to 1000 hp and speeds up to 18000 rpm .
