MG invests £1.2m in test facilities

The investment brings a fifth engine test facility and further enhances to its rolling road

SAIC has invested £1.2 million to install extra test equipment at MG Motor UK’s Longbridge site. The investment brings a fifth engine test facility and further enhances to its rolling road.

Typically, emission testing on a rolling road has been outsourced, but now engineers at MG can carry out the required tests in the correct temperature-controlled environment.  

James Scott, powertrain test senior manager, said: “The money that’s been invested into this new testing facility shows a real commitment to the future of MG. This additional test cell and enhanced rolling road allows us to continue to get the very best performance and economy for MG products.”

MG also recently announced an expansion to the design team at Longbridge, following the launch of the MG GS in June.
