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.
