NATRAX: More details
NATRAX is the fifth largest test site in the world, covering an area of 2,900 acres. NATRAX Center has a number of testing capabilities, such as maximum speed, acceleration, constant-speed fuel consumption measurement, emission testing through real road driving simulation, high-speed handling and stability evaluation during maneuvering, such as lane change and high-speed durability testing, etc. Center of excellence in vehicle dynamics.
The 11.3 km NATRAX High Speed Track (HST) is said to be the longest such track in Asia and the fifth largest in the world. The vehicle can reach a maximum speed of 375 km/h on a curve through steering control, and the track has a gentle slope on the long parabolic curve, making it one of the safest test tracks in the world.
NATRAX HST is located in the center of Madhya Pradesh and is available to most major OEMs, and will even be open to enthusiastic drivers in a limited way.
