Modern e-axle systems are designed to be highly compact, with superior power density and optimized for efficiency, performance, and drivability. E-axle test systems must meet stringent requirements related to service lifetime, performance, and NVH to ensure a comfortable driving experience. Additionally, adhering to strict EMC limits is essential to guarantee vehicle safety.
These test systems must be capable of handling the evolving demands of electric mobility while supporting advanced diagnostics and predictive maintenance. This enhances reliability, minimizes downtime, and ensures peak performance throughout the e-axle’s lifecycle.
Performance Testing – Light Duty
The AVL E-Axle TS™ Performance is a tailor-made solution for the development and validation of light-duty e-axles, whether single or dual motor. With the shortest lead times, you can quickly start life cycle and thermal endurance testing, as well as electrical, mechanical and thermal property analysis. This test system enables precise performance and functional testing up to 20,000 rpm and 400 kW, supported by a direct drive dynamometer, flexible multi-channel cooling conditioning and a climatic chamber for environmental simulation.
Performance Testing – Heavy Duty
The AVL E-Axle TS™ Performance - Heavy Duty is a standardized test system designed for the development and validation of e-axles in commercial vehicles. It enables comprehensive life cycle testing under realistic vehicle-like conditions and supports precise performance and functional testing with over 800 kW of power. Two compact wheel load machines, each with a peak torque of 40,000 Nm, and an optional temperature chamber with multi-channel cooling to simulate climatic environmental conditions ensure that e-axles can be tested optimally under a wide range of operating conditions.
Energy Flow Testing
This innovative solution enhances efficiency and optimizes performance through comprehensive testing and validation. It includes electrical range evaluation under various climates, system efficiency validation, energy management during driving, recuperation, and charging. Additionally, it covers strategy verification, road tests, failure mode analysis, EDU performance optimization, and evaluation of electrical auxiliaries and recuperation techniques.
NVH Testing
Our AVL E-Axle TS™ NVH system is designed to redefine silence, comfort, and overall performance in both light-duty and heavy-duty e-axle solutions. With exceptionally low operating noise levels, it ensures superior NVH performance. The system features semi-automatic track width and wheelbase adaptations, enabling high-end NVH development with ease. This innovative solution is setting new industry standards for NVH engineering in both current and future e-powertrains, ensuring optimal performance and maximum user comfort and satisfaction across all mobility applications.
EMC Testing
To measure the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) of e-drive systems and evaluate their emissions or assess their immunity to interference, specialized EMC test systems are required. Our AVL E-Axle TS™ EMC provides precise measurements and testing in accordance with the CISPR 25 standard, ensuring your systems meet stringent industry regulations. With this solution, you can effectively assess both emissions and immunity of your e-axle components, guaranteeing the reliability and compliance of electric drive systems for future mobility applications.
Production Testing
Our End-of-Line (EOL), Conformity of Production (COP), and Quality Assurance (QA) test systems are designed to ensure the quality and security of your entire e-axle production process. These fully automated e-axle rigging systems, integrated with robotic handling, allow for extremely short takt times, reducing them to just 120 seconds. By incorporating these advanced testing solutions into your production line, you can achieve high throughput while ensuring the highest quality standards, improving both the efficiency and reliability of your e-axle manufacturing process.
With our in-house engineering department, we closely evaluate and actively shape the market and innovations in order to provide our customers with the best possible advice and support. Based on this application know-how, we develop e-axle test system solutions that ensure our customers achieve their development goals sustainably and efficiently.”
