Electric, hybrid or conventional

Precision for drive systems

From the energy source to the last cogwheel - modern drive units are a complex interplay of mechanics, electronics and software. With real or simulated energy storage systems, precise measurement technology and practical load profiles, we ensure performance, efficiency and reliability - at every stage of development.

Reliably securing complex systems

Real drive testing starts with the overall system

From the electric motor to the inverter, from the gearbox to the software: modern drive units are highly complex systems. PTS-Prüftechnik validates all components in interaction - realistically, flexibly and with intelligent monitoring. Our adaptable test benches provide meaningful data for your approvals - reliable, traceable and right from the pre-development stage.

Fully automated - from prototype to series production

Our test benches enable functional tests, thermal and mechanical loads as well as software analyses - automated, reproducible and meaningful.

Scope of services:

  • Functional & endurance tests
  • Accredited test laboratory for certification measurements (UN-ECE, GBT, etc.)
  • Efficiency analyses & power loss measurements
  • Thermal characterization & NVH analyses
  • Load profile simulations (speed, temperature, driving cycles)
  • Validation of protective functions & diagnostic algorithms
  • Functional safety (FuSi)
  • Communication tests (CAN, LIN, Ethernet)
  • Battery, fuel cell or HIL simulation

Test your drive unit in a real scenario - with measurable safety.
