E-Motor Testing Solutions

Driving Electrification. Quickly and Efficiently.
e-motor performance

As development timelines for electric drive systems continue to shorten, the complexity of creating and testing e-motor technologies becomes increasingly evident. From Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors (PMSM) to Asynchronous Motors (ASM) and Electrically Excited Synchronous Motors (EESM), alongside advanced inverter technologies like Silicon Carbide (SiC), the variety of powertrain concepts adds to the challenge.

We offer a comprehensive portfolio of e-motor test systems, software, tools, and processes that enable rapid, high-quality testing and validation of these cutting-edge e-drive systems. With AVL, you can achieve faster time-to-market without compromising on quality.

The e-drive system is pivotal to the satisfaction of both drivers and passengers in electric vehicles (EVs), as it is central to delivering an exhilarating driving experience. Modern e-drive systems are engineered to be compact with high power density, optimized for efficiency, performance, and drivability.

Additionally, these systems must adhere to strict Noise, Vibration, and Harshness (NVH) requirements to ensure a smooth and comfortable ride. Compliance with rigorous Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) standards is essential for vehicle safety. Moreover, the robustness of the e-drive system is critical to meeting longevity and durability requirements throughout its operational lifespan.

E-Motor TS Performance

An e-motor testbed must meet many requirements to ensure a fast and reliable test process. Effective testing of units under test across multiple performance levels - such as power, current, voltage, speed, and torque - is essential. 

Sophisticated design is crucial for these test systems to accommodate different technologies and performance metrics. To accelerate the development process, it is critical to frontload activities to ensure smooth integration of the e-drive system into the vehicle. The development phases present unique challenges that can be effectively addressed with our comprehensive e-motor testing portfolio. Our solutions are designed to streamline the testing process and improve the overall efficiency of your e-motor development.
