Olson Ecologic is the premier independent emission testing laboratory in California. The test facility is designed and personnel is available to help engineering and administrative customer needs. The facility complies with strictly controlled environmental standards and Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) test requirements.

Our emissions testing capability  includes use of standard and alternative fuels. These fuels include gasoline, diesel, biodiesel, CNG, LNG, Propane, H2 and dual fuel. All official testing follows CARB and Federal Test Procedures (FTP). Client-specified special tasks can be conducted as well.

Manyof the largest DPF suppliers in the world have used the California laboratory for CARB testing requirements and ultimate verification approval to market their products for engine retrofit.

The test equipment at Olson EcoLogic makes it a full service laboratory. We test various automobiles, including light and medium duty trucks, motorcycles and ATV’s.  

Transient, Steady State, CVS78, CVS74, HFET, New York, Japan 10 and 11, IM240 and ECE15/60 are just a few of test cycles performed at the laboratory. Gaseous emissions from testing are generally measured for hydrocarbons (HC), carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2), oxides of nitrogen (NOx), Methane (CH4), particulate matter (PM) and brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC) 

Olson Ecologic also has an extensive inventory of heavy-duty diesel engines available for client use at our facility. These engines have been used for CARB DPF Verification Programs and Executive Orders and their baseline emissions are well documented
