Since 1975, Mustang Dynamometer has been successful at anticipating, identifying and following industrial market trends that shape its businesses, such as changes in government regulations, safety and emissions standards, technological advancements and the need for greater efficiencies. In the emerging emissions testing market in the 1980s, Mustang says it became a global leader in the development and delivery of some of the most sophisticated dynamometer technologies and advanced engineering capabilities due to the desire for increased performance in the automotive and other industries.
Starting as an importer of electromagnetic braking mechanisms, Mustang has continued to add new capabilities, product lines and systems for automotive and industrial testing. The company says that it is more than the typical dynamometer manufacturer and that it has slowly and steadily grown into a highly diversified, technology-based engineering firm with world-class design, manufacturing, software and controls and integration capabilities that position it as a unique supplier to the industry.
In addition to a team of experienced software, mechanical and electrical engineers who develop all the company’s products and systems in-house, Mustang claims that its versatility and speed are its best strengths. A relatively small, privately-owned company, it can react quickly to customer demands and the ever-present changes in market conditions. In 2016, Mustang developed the web-based HoleShot dynamometer controls software, which simplifies and increases commonality and provides customers with a more powerful and easier-to-manage controls package, per a press release.
Looking forward to the next 50 years, Mustang Dynamometer plans to continue allocating a substantial amount of capital into research and development. This practice has helped Mustang introduce new innovations and products to the marketplace in a timely fashion. In today’s environment and the demand for greater efficiencies in various industries, technology continues to change, and Mustang is determined to stay at the forefront of developing new solutions and integration into the testing world.
