Testing Services

Delphi Kokomo Technical Center Environmental Testing

Delphi conducts testing that subjects components to a variety of environmental conditions, including varying temperature and humidity.

We utilize the latest technology to offer comprehensive environmental testing services. Our experienced engineers have developed testing programs for many different types of products, including complex engine controllers, hybrid vehicle battery assemblies, radar systems, sensors, and entertainment products.
