MTS To Provide Rolling Road Aerodynamic Testing Systems To BMW AG

Eden Prairie, Minn. – July 13, 2005 – MTS Systems Corporation (NASDAQ: MTSC) today announced contracts to provide two Rolling Road Aerodynamic Testing Systems to BMW AG. The two systems will be used to test passenger vehicles at BMW’s Munich aerodynamic facility. MTS’ Rolling Road Systems enhance the aerodynamic information acquired during wind tunnel testing by providing controlled higher-speed simulation of ground effect conditions under the test vehicle and around about rotating wheels.

MTS is providing BMW AG with both a single-belt and five-belt Rolling Road Aerodynamic Testing System.

The single-belt system is similar to aerodynamic testing systems used by Motorsports teams. However, this particular Rolling Road Aerodynamic Testing System will incorporate a technique that was jointly developed by MTS and BMW for separating rolling resistance data from aerodynamic drag data. This technique allows engineering teams to access highly comprehensive data for testing evaluations.

MTS will also provide a five-belt Rolling Road System and six-component under floor balance. The five-belt Rolling Road System will allow BMW to investigate the dynamic effects of aerodynamic flow and evaluate how aerodynamics impact driver feedback and chassis stability. An endless stainless steel belt, supported by special air bearings, provides unparalleled underbody flow simulation. The six-component under floor balance is a force transducer system that measures the 3 forces and 3 moments generated by the airflow around the car. MTS’ under floor balance system collects an especially rich data set since it has the capability to measure unsteady forces.

“Our ability to precisely simulate aerodynamic conditions underneath full scale and model scale vehicles used in wind tunnels combined with our race car aerodynamics testing expertise put us in an ideal position to furnish wind tunnel testing systems to progressive passenger car companies,” said Stuart Carver, MTS motorsports market manager. “We are confident our Rolling Road Aerodynamics Testing Systems will increase the quality of data that BMW will collect from its wind tunnel testing programs.”

To enhance BMW’s testing program, MTS is also providing several additional wind tunnel subsystems including a model motion system, force measurement system and wheel motion system.
