AVL E-Motor TS™ Durability (TS stands for test system) is committed to helping our customers manufacture reliable and functional e-motors, without having to accumulate miles on the road – which uses costly prototypes with high maintenance efforts. The test procedures enable accelerated mileage accumulation – reducing the total testing time and lowering handling costs. Compared with a conventional e-motor testbed with a dynamometer, a special feature of AVL E-Motor TS™ Durability is that it can test not only one, but two electric motors at the same time. One e-motor generates energy, while the other recuperates it.

Modular Approach
Upgradeability with coolant conditioning, climate chamber, more powerful DC supply, power analyzer, and torque flange.
Cost-Efficient Test System
Unlike an e-motor testbed where only one e-motor is tested, our back-to-back testbed tests two e-motors simultaneously.
AVL SPECTRA™ Universal Inverter
As e-drive system development and validation accelerates, testing e-motors and inverters separately before final system tests is essential. A universal inverter is required to validate e-motor performance and dynamics. For realistic results, its control properties must mirror those of the final inverter. The AVL SPECTRA™ Universal Inverter, with advanced SiC MosFET technology, supports diverse switching frequencies and emulates traction inverters, featuring an integrated FPGA control unit for all tasks.
AVL PUMA 2™ E-Motor
AVL PUMA is the top choice for e-motor testing, with AVL providing 60% of e-drive test systems globally. Our automation system offers precise speed and rotor position control, vehicle simulation, and a user-friendly interface. Integrated with AVL CAMEO™ and AVL X-ion™, AVL PUMA 2™ E-Motor enables advanced e-motor calibration. It accelerates validation with ready-to-use test cycles and supports two e-motors in a back-to-back configuration, reducing development complexity and time-to-market.
AVL X-ion™ e-Power
The AVL X-ion™ integrated power analyzer is designed for advanced testing of advanced and future traction drives. It simplifies setting up e-motor, inverter, and e-drive testbeds with seamless integration into automation and optimization systems. High-performance power analysis provides extensive raw data for post-processing and real-time results. Software features include user-configurable algorithms, real-time results, online streaming, customizable formulas, and rotor position calculations.
AVL E-STORAGE™
AVL E-STORAGE offers versatile testbed configurations for efficient and resource-conscious testing. From battery testing and emulation to full electrified powertrain evaluations, it provides comprehensive, flexible solutions. As demand for electric powertrains increases, future-proof and adaptable equipment becomes crucial. The AVL E-STORAGE SiC marks a significant advancement in testing technology, offering scalable solutions ranging from 160 kW to multi-megawatt clusters.
Media Conditioning Systems
To accurately simulate extreme driving conditions, conditioning systems must create extreme media conditions that are essential for effective testing. Testbed efficiency is improved by quickly establishing initial conditions. Oil and coolant conditioning systems enable rapid cooling of the unit under test at the end of each test cycle, allowing more tests, including cold start tests, to be performed in the same time frame.
E-Motor Climatic Chamber
Our climatic chamber for e-motor testing offers an energy-efficient solution that minimizes chamber space and reduces operational costs while supporting sustainability goals. With a separate air conditioning unit, it allows for precise control of temperature and airflow, ensuring optimal testing conditions for various evaluations. Its compact design facilitates easier installation and maintenance, enhancing cost-effectiveness and versatility.
The AVL E-Motor TS™ Durability provides advanced testing solutions, ensuring long-term reliability and performance of electric motors. It combines innovative simulation and testing methodologies to accelerate the development process while minimizing risks and failures.
