ROAD AND OFF-ROAD TESTING
Certification ISO/IEC
17025:2005 (CAN-P-4E)
PIT Group (FPInnovations) is certified as a testing laboratory for fuel consumption under a variety of methods including:
→ Fuel consumption testing for heavy-duty vehicles testing according to SAE Type I, II and III Procedures, and EPA SmartWay Interim Test Methods;
→ Fuel consumption testing for heavy-duty vehicles testing according to SAE Type I, II and III Procedures, and EPA SmartWay Interim Test Methods;
→ Emissions testing using portable emission measurement systems (PEMS) according to EPA regulations;
→ Fuel consumption and emission testing for conventional and hybrid heavy and light-duty vehicles according to specific SAE standards.
This standard is the international reference for on-road testing.
PERFORMANCE INNOVATION OF TRANSPORT-FCS 27
The Performance Innovation of Transport is a neutral road test laboratory that uses the most stringent protocols of the industry to measure the exact performance of a technology and provide you and your customers with precise, reliable and verified third-party data on the performance of your technology.
The FCS-27 has been tested by the Performance Innovation of Transport using the SAE J1321 Type 2 testing procedures and protocols.
PIT has tested more than 175 Technologies on the Market.
Only two products have been certified: Shell Diesel Extra as Level 2 and FCS-27 as Level 5 (the highest certification level for any Fuel Additive on the market). The result shows a Fuel Improvement by 5.2% and a reduction of greenhouse gas emission by 8.686 Mt./truck/year.

Summary
This standard is the international reference for testing laboratories, and is rarely granted to testing activities outside laboratories.
| Test Site | Conclusions |
| The tests were performed on the BRAVO high-speed test track. This track is a high-banked, parabolic oval. The length of a test run was 13 laps (87 km.), with departure and arrival at the same position along the track. |
The FCS 27 additive from CM Technologies showed the following results, expressed for the confidence level of 95 % as required by the SAE J1321 Joint TMC/SAE Fuel Consumption Test Procedure-Type II (SAE International 2012) Fuels improvement: 5.20 % +/- 0.58 % |
