Vehicle Inspection - Light Vehicles

Passenger cars, light commercial vehicles, and corporate fleets account for the bulk of a vehicle inspection center’s business. Discover Capelec’s equipment designed specifically for light vehicle inspection centers and repair shops.

Light-duty vehicle inspection: a high-volume operation

Passenger cars, light commercial vehicles, and company cars: this is the segment with the highest volumes, where turnaround time directly determines the center’s profitability. Every step avoided and every re-entry eliminated translates into more vehicles inspected.

Our equipment for light vehicles is designed with this in mind: high-performance and space-saving, the systems integrate seamlessly, featuring intuitive interfaces and results transmitted to the data entry station via a secure connection.

An increasingly diverse fleet

Gasoline, diesel, hybrid, LPG, electric: a light-duty vehicle testing center now handles a wide variety of engine types in a single day. The configuration of the emissions testing station must take this into account; otherwise, the center risks having to turn vehicles away or improvise procedures.

Lighting Systems Are Becoming More Complex

LED, matrix, and adaptive headlight systems are becoming increasingly common in newer vehicles. Adjusting them requires a headlight aimer with a CCD camera that is compatible with halogen, xenon, LED, and AFS systems, and a properly sized measurement area.

Devices that evolve with protocols

The modular design of our equipment allows us to keep up with regulatory changes through software updates, without having to replace the device.

The Emissions Testing Station

This station is the most sensitive to regulatory changes. Multi-gas analyzers, opacimeters, and combined units ensure reliable and rapid measurement and data transmission for all engine types tested.

Combined gas analyzer and opacimeter units allow you to service a mixed fleet from a single workstation using a single interface—a significant time saver when gasoline and diesel vehicles alternate throughout the day.

Braking, Suspension, and Lighting

Roller brake testers are compatible with most civil engineering frames. Robust and easy to use thanks to their remote control and touchscreen, they feature scalable test procedure software.

They are complemented by skid plates, clearance plates, and suspension test stands, as well as a headlight aimer for verifying the light beam. Together, these components form the test line that the vehicle travels through, station by station.

A system designed as a whole

A center’s performance does not stem from the isolated performance of each device, but from how they work together: the order of the workstations, the movement of the vehicle, and the automatic transmission of measurements to the data entry station.

That is why we approach a light-vehicle project by focusing on operations and the facility layout before considering the equipment catalog: the same equipment can result in very different turnaround times depending on its layout.
