Revenue model

1. Dynamometer Hardware Sales: Primary revenue from design, manufacture, and sale of dynamometers, heavy equipment testing systems, and related data acquisition and control systems. Products include engine dynamometers, chassis dynamometers, towing dynamometers, transmission test stands, hydraulic test benches, and containerized testing systems. Revenue is primarily one-time capital equipment sales with long sales cycles typical of industrial equipment.
2. Lifecycle Services and Support: Comprehensive service offerings including Power Test PARTS (parts program), PowerGuard360 (preventative maintenance), PowerRENEW (remanufacturing), Power Test ACADEMY (training), PowerASSYST (technical support), and PowerSERV (service programs). Services provide recurring revenue through ongoing maintenance contracts and support.
3. Test Cell Solutions and Integration: Complete test cell design, construction, installation, and integration services including facility support systems (HVAC, air handling, cooling, exhaust, fuel storage, safety, sound control, water systems). In-house manufacturing enables turnkey solutions.
