RUTE
Testing and Analysis Services
Testing and Analysis Services are critical to improve the quality and reliability of transportation projects. The Institute meticulously evaluates its projects and works on sustainable solutions by using the latest technology, especially in testing and analysis processes. In this context, TÜBİTAK RUTE, with its strong infrastructure and expert staff, effectively performs the testing and analysis activities required by public and private sector organizations.
TÜBİTAK RUTE's testing and analysis services focus on two main areas: Battery Tests and Engine Center of Excellence Tests. Battery Tests are conducted to evaluate the performance of energy storage systems, increase their reliability and develop sustainable energy solutions. Engine Center of Excellence Tests are conducted to examine engine technologies to optimize their efficiency and work on environmentally friendly alternatives.
TÜBİTAK RUTE uses state-of-the-art products in these testing and analysis processes to conduct a detailed evaluation of projects and raise quality standards based on the resulting data. It also supports the long-term success of transportation projects by working on sustainable solutions. In this way, TÜBİTAK RUTE, with its expertise in testing and analysis, plays an important role in improving the reliability and quality of projects in the transportation sector.

Engine Center of ExcellenceTests
In Türkiye, some domestic manufacturers, in the process of developing engines, have had to conduct certain tests abroad due to the lack of facilities domestically, hindering the progress of development activities at the desired pace. With the initiative of the Ministry of Industry and Technology and the support of the Presidency Strategy and Budget Presidency, the Motor Excellence Center, established within TÜBİTAK between 2015-2020, has been opened to the service of our private sector companies with state-of-the-art equipment, test infrastructure, and know-how. The 8 different test rooms established in the center enable the development and certification processes of domestically designed engines ranging from 40 horsepower to 4,000 horsepower. At the same time, infrastructures for transmission components and vehicle tests have been made ready for use.
With the commissioning of the Center, engine development and testing processes will accelerate significantly and can be carried out domestically. Thus, technology-intensive systems in internal combustion engines will be developed domestically, and the resources spent on the production of engines with modern technology will remain in Turkey. In other words, high value-added systems will be produced domestically.
