Electric mobility & alternative powertrains

The future is electric – and we’re here to help you get there. Whether battery-electric, hydrogen-powered or using synthetic fuels: as an independent testing service provider, we support vehicle manufacturers, system suppliers and developers in introducing innovative powertrain concepts.

You can rely on our decades of experience in automotive engineering, our expertise in new technologies and our accredited testing facilities. Together, we are shaping the mobility of tomorrow – safely, efficiently and in an environmentally friendly way.

Our services are aimed at companies that wish to develop, integrate or certify alternative propulsion technologies:

• Vehicle manufacturers (OEMs)
• System and component suppliers
• Engineering service providers & design offices
• Companies specialising in retrofitting
• Fleet operators focusing on alternative powertrains
• Start-ups in the fields of electric mobility or hydrogen technology

You all benefit from our comprehensive testing expertise – whether it concerns production vehicles, prototypes or individual conversions.

Battery electric vehicles are powered exclusively by electric motors. The energy required is stored in a traction battery, which, depending on the vehicle model, can be charged externally using either alternating or direct current.

We assist you with the testing of vehicles and systems in accordance with the specific market requirements of various countries. Our services include:

• Individual approval procedures for converted vehicles: We test vehicles in accordance with VdTÜV MB 764 to ensure they meet legal requirements.
• Electrical safety checks: We ensure that all electrical systems meet safety standards.
• Range and consumption measurements: We carry out tests to determine the efficiency and range of your vehicles.
• Determination of motor performance: We measure the performance of the electric motors to confirm their capability.
• Noise emission testing: This includes both driving noise and the Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System (AVAS).

Our experts work closely with you to develop concepts that ensure the sustainability of your products and meet market requirements. This can be achieved through the use of interchangeable batteries of identical construction or through product upgrades for existing vehicles.
