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.


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. Our best-in-class automation and control system offers outstanding user experience, easy customization, and unique features like high-precision speed and position control. AVL PUMA 2™ Machine Learning allows detecting anomalies in the setup, e.g., increased vibrations, at an early stage, preventing potential damage to the unit under test and saving valuable time.

Dedicated to fine-tuning our e-motor testbeds, products, and software tools, we ensure they excel in e-motor testing and support our customers in developing best e-drive systems. With a comprehensive portfolio that includes Performance, NVH, EMC, Durability, and Production Test Systems, we provide the foundation to achieve superior e-drive performance.”
