## **New Testing Facility** **will also help meet ****current and future legislation and quality standards**

**(MAHWAH, N.J.) – August 1, 2022 – **[Jaguar](https://greenlivingguy.com/2019/04/waymo-and-jaguar-land-rover-announce-long-term-partnership-beginning-with-self-driving-jaguar-i-pace/)
Land Rover has taken another step towards a new era of [electrification](https://greenlivingguy.com/2022/07/blink-charging-commends-biden-administration-and-usps-for-fleet-electrification/)
and connectivity by opening a facility. All to test the next generation of vehicles
for electrical and radio interference.

The Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) laboratory at the Gaydon facility in the
UK. For it will ensure future vehicles meet current and future legislation and quality
standards. That’s for connectivity and electronics. The new Range [Rover](https://greenlivingguy.com/2017/09/every-jaguar-land-rover-launched-from-2020-will-be-electrified/)
Sport, which launched in May, was the first vehicle to undergo a bespoke testing
program at the in-house facility.

A critical aspect of [vehicle](https://greenlivingguy.com/2022/06/the-fisker-ocean-suv-exceeds-50000-reservations-plus-more-on-the-fisker-pear/)
performance is EMC. Which is the ability of electrical equipment and systems to 
function correctly in their electromagnetic environment. It works by limiting the
unintentional generation, propagation and reception of electromagnetic energy to
reduce the risk of unwanted effects such as electromagnetic interference.

## Facility Features

Moreover, [Jaguar](https://greenlivingguy.com/2018/05/prince-harry-built-his-own-electric-vehicle-for-his-wedding-to-meghan/)
Land Rover’s new vehicle laboratory features two anechoic chambers. An electrically‘
quiet’ rolling road that enables engineers to test [vehicles at speed](https://greenlivingguy.com/2009/03/a-fun-article-i-did-on-low-speed-vehicle/).
And equipment to assess the performance of individual components. Like batteries
or electric motors. Bluetooth, GPS, WiFi, 4G, 5G, adaptive cruise control, wireless
charging and blind spot monitoring. Those are all examples of vehicle services and
features that the facility will test for EMC.

“The importance of testing our vehicles for electromagnetic compatibility cannot
be underestimated,” said Peter Phillips, Senior Manager, Electromagnetics and Compliance
at [Jaguar Land Rover](https://greenlivingguy.com/2018/07/gardens-planting-worldwide-a-horticultural-adventure/).“
Opening this new testing facility is an important step forward for the [business](https://greenlivingguy.com/2021/06/5-ways-to-stay-eco-friendly-when-home-buying/).
And it will play a crucial role in helping us deliver quality, legal, and customer
satisfaction.”

electric powertrains. Plus, the range of digital and cloud-based services on vehicles.
That’s from Software-Over-The-Air updates to autonomous technology. Not to mention,
testing for EMC is central to delivering quality, legal, and customer satisfaction.
Moreover, this new facility demonstrates [Jaguar](https://greenlivingguy.com/2018/05/panasonic-jaguar-racing-return-points-scoring-form-berlin/)
Land Rover’s commitment. Which is to give customers the most advanced in-vehicle
connectivity. That’s as the business accelerates electrification through its Reimagine
strategy.
