Product Highlights
-
Test Equipment for Extreme Conditions
Test equipment operated in extreme environments are modeled from assumptions that would not be made in usual environments which are evaluated in durability, safety, and precision by R&D process to test various kinds of specific equipments in accordance with extreme or complex conditions.
-
Gas Turbine Engine
The production of test equipment for gas turbine engines and combustors requires cutting-edge technology on the aerospace and defense industry to supply fuel and air to the combustor in high-temperature, high-pressure environment for ignition.
-
Hydrogen Industry
GASROAD performs development test with their own test facility for customers including Hyundai Motor Company and it’s partners which supply the products of H2 FCVs.
Areas of Application
-
Test equipment operated in extreme environments requires frontier technology in the aerospace, defense, and gas turbine fields which is why the barrier to market entry is high, but it can be applied to various business fields. GASROAD conducts tests and evaluations in accordance with UN Global Technical Regulations (GTR) No. 13 for hydrogen vehicle performance evaluation and has gained a competitive advantage in the field by establishing a component performance test evaluation system and developing technologies applicable to various test equipment.

Business Results
Market Outlook
- Evolution of the heart of power generation from “gas turbines” to “hydrogen turbines”
- GASROAD is expected to expand into various other business areas by accelerating the development and demonstration of hydrogen turbine with investment in and research activities on technologies that may lead carbon neutrality amid the global transition to a low-carbon economy.
- Replacing the fossil fuel-based “automobiles” with “hydrogen vehicles”
- The Hydrogen Mobility Research Center of the Korea Automotive Technology Institute (KATECH) plans to invest more than KRW 100 billion in R&D projects by 2025, which is expected to raise the demand for test equipment for research and testing of hydrogen vehicle parts and components.
