HORIBA India showcased a comprehensive range of advanced automotive testing and measurement technologies at the Symposium on International Automotive Technology 2026, held in Pune. The company’s participation reflected its growing focus on supporting India’s transition toward cleaner, safer, and more sustainable mobility solutions.
The event brought together automakers, suppliers, policymakers, and researchers to discuss emerging automotive technologies, with testing and validation playing a central role in enabling future powertrains.
Focus on Hydrogen and Electrolyzer Testing
One of the key highlights from HORIBA India’s showcase was a locally developed electrolyzer test station. The platform is designed to validate the performance and efficiency of electrolyzers used in industrial and mobility applications, supporting the broader push toward hydrogen-based energy solutions.
The development of this testing system within India underscores HORIBA India’s emphasis on localisation and collaboration with domestic research institutions. As hydrogen gains importance in future mobility and energy strategies, accurate and scalable testing solutions are expected to become increasingly critical.
Advanced Emission and Vehicle Testing Technologies
HORIBA India also presented advanced emission measurement systems aimed at helping manufacturers meet evolving regulatory requirements. These included solutions for real driving emissions testing and precise particulate measurement, which are essential as emission norms become more stringent.
Such technologies enable automakers to validate vehicle performance under real-world conditions, improving compliance readiness while supporting cleaner vehicle development.
Supporting India’s Transition to Future Mobility
In addition to hydrogen and emissions solutions, the company showcased technologies supporting electric mobility. These included systems capable of accurately measuring electric vehicle charging energy and efficiency in line with global testing standards.
HORIBA India highlighted the growing need for flexible testing platforms as the automotive industry transitions toward a mix of internal combustion engines, electric drivetrains, and alternative energy solutions. Comprehensive validation across multiple technologies is becoming essential for manufacturers navigating this transition.
The company’s presence at SIAT 2026 reflects its broader strategy of strengthening local technical capabilities while supporting original equipment manufacturers and suppliers in adapting to future mobility requirements. With continued investment in infrastructure and expertise, HORIBA India aims to play a key role in shaping the next phase of automotive testing and innovation in India.
