Electric and hybrid vehicle powertrain testing

The precise analysis of electric and hybrid powertrains is the prerequisite for their optimization – based on accurate measurements and calculations of the system energy flows – and the development of ecologically and economically sustainable vehicles for the mobility of the future. 

As a leader in the field of innovative, application-oriented measurement systems for engine development, backed by more than 50 years of experience and expertise, we support you with state-of-the-art measurement technology and test systems for accomplishing fast, accurate and efficient electric vehicle (EV) powertrain analysis. More than that: we will guide you through the new and challenging applications.

Rely on our competency in EV and hybrid vehicle powertrain testing – benefit from unique solutions and measurement accuracy across the entire measuring chain – in-vehicle and on the test bench.

High-precision measurements of power flows and thermal flows help characterize and visualize system energy flows in real time, detect energy losses and balance electric power and temperatures of the subsystems.

Our KiBox2 powertrain analysis system and the FSI temperature monitoring system are high performance instruments which form a unique, powerful measurement and analysis platform covering all relevant measurands within the full drivetrain. A superior measurement accuracy across the complete measuring chain guarantees high-quality data, from combustion and high-voltage electrical power input including the battery up to the resulting mechanical power output. 

As single or combined solution both instruments are designed for testing, developing, validating, benchmarking, and producing complete electric and hybrid propulsion units and their components. Boost your capabilities to analyze the entire thermal and electrical characteristics of vehicles like passenger cars, trucks, UAVs (drones), trains etc. 

Benefits of the combined KiBox2 powertrain analysis / FSI temperature monitoring system:

• Flexible, mobile, compact hardware, applicable in-vehicle and on the test bench
• High accuracy and excellent data quality due to sophisticated algorithms 
• Versatile and scalable to fit various measurement scenarios 
• Fast setup, short installation time and easy to operate with one software environment
• Measurement, calculation and analysis of relevant parameters according to Std IEEE1459-2010
