The document discusses improving test benches used to test engine add-on parts and new concepts. It notes current test benches have limitations like indirect drives that do not correlate to field conditions and lack of protection systems. The main targets of the next generation test benches are to directly connect sample parts to an electrical engine to simulate real combustion engine torque and speed variations, and to design the test benches with explosion protection to test with field-relevant liquids. The focus is on simulating engine torque and speed behavior up to 10,000 rpm with speed gradients up to 12,000 rpm/s to directly test sample parts under improved security conditions.
