Dynostar

What Dynostar does

Dynostar is a Dutch manufacturer specializing in the development and production of dynamometers and related engineering solutions. Operating from a recently expanded facility in Oud-Gastel, The Netherlands, the company is the trade name of Dutch Dynamometers & Engineering Solutions B.V. (DDES), a privately held Dutch private limited company. Its product portfolio spans four dynamometer categories — automotive chassis dynos, motorcycle/powersports dynos, engine dynos, and heavy industrial dynos — ranging from a portable suitcase-sized motorcycle dyno (2C MK2, ~48.7 kg) to a 14,000 kg industrial test bed for 20-ton agricultural and industrial vehicles.

All Dynostar dynamometers are built around two proprietary in-house technologies: the DAS (Data Acquisition System) hardware and the ADS (Advanced Dyno Station) control and analysis software. The DAS collects sensor data (turbo pressure, throttle position, temperatures, air/fuel ratio, weather station inputs) through a single Junction Box cable, and the ADS provides real-time measurement, historical database, drive cycle simulation (WLTP/NEDC), and optional Drive SIM road-condition emulation. Notable engineering differentiators include Tungsten Carbide-coated rollers, backlash-free drivelines, air-cooled eddy current retarders, modular upgradeable architectures (e.g., RC3300 AWD), and automated alignment/tyre-pressure systems. NMi type-approval for the SSD-1 enables government-enforcement use cases.

Dynostar's commercial model is factory-direct B2B sales — customers request quotations via the website and receive configuration, manufacturing, installation, and after-sales support from the same team. International reach is provided by exclusive distributors in Japan (EMU co Ltd) and Taiwan (Ster Kinetic Power Ltd). Revenue streams include new dynamometer hardware sales, reconditioned/refurbished units with upgrade kits, accessories and replacement parts, and bespoke custom test cell design and construction. Target segments include automotive workshops and chiptuning firms, motorcycle and powersports tuners, government road safety and vehicle registration authorities, agricultural and industrial OEMs, engine test facilities and racing teams, and electric vehicle testing laboratories.

Core offering

Dynostar develops, manufactures and sells a wide range of innovative dynamometers — automotive chassis dynos, motorcycle dynos, engine dynos and industrial dynos — together with the proprietary DAS data acquisition hardware and ADS (Advanced Dyno Station) control software that run across the range. Offerings extend to upgrade kits for legacy dynos, a reconditioned dyno programme, cooling fans, exhaust extraction, custom dyno test-room design and construction, and a broad accessories and replacement-parts catalogue. All products are configured to customer specification and sold via a factory-direct, quote-based model with regional distributors in Japan and Taiwan.

Product overview

Dynostar is a Dutch manufacturer specializing in the development and production of innovative dynamometers and engineering solutions. The product portfolio consists of three main dynamometer categories: Automotive Chassis Dynos (including Z4, RC1000 AWD, RC3300 AWD, W4X, MRC1000 MK2, RC3300 MK2, SR38), Motorcycle Dynos (D50, D70, 4T, 2C MK2, SSD-1), and Engine Dynos (ETB76, ETB400, ETB500). Supporting the core dynamometers is the proprietary DAS (Data Acquisition System) hardware and ADS (Advanced Dyno Station) software, which form the intelligent control and measurement platform across all products. Additional offerings include cooling systems, gas exhaust extraction, custom test room design/construction, and a full range of accessories and replacement parts. The company also offers upgrade kits and reconditioned dynamometers as sustainable alternatives. All products share the common DAS/ADS platform, providing unified control, measurement, and data analysis capabilities.
