AVL E-Axle TS™ NVH

Our commitment to silence.

Noise Vibration Harshness (NVH) is a key factor in driver satisfaction. We provide dedicated testbeds,
systems, and processes to measure, test, calibrate, and ultimately improve NVH
– for a superior, quieter, and more satisfying drive.

The transformation of the automotive sector away from combustion engines and CO2 emissions is bringing noise and vibration audibly and noticeably to the forefront of vehicle development. The fully electrified car of the future is creating market trends that bring new challenges and opportunities. NVH (noise, vibration, harshness) and driver comfort are in the focus like never before. As the powertrain of the future evolves, AVL’s test environment adapts, enabling fast, reliable and targeted development results. With our NVH test systems, we at AVL support all test specimen variants, from the e-axle to the complete vehicle, to create development environments that can solve NVH development challenges quickly, efficiently and sustainably.

Our experience with NVH powertrain testbeds allows us to provide a high-quality acoustic test environment for e-axles. All components and acoustic enclosures are designed by us to ensure excellent NVH performance with minimal sound reflections through simulation-optimized design. The focus lies on easiest handling of the testbed component. Thanks to movable loading units, convenient adaptation to different test specimen sizes is possible. In addition, easy access to maintenance areas is ensured by hinged acoustic enclosures.

Highly Customizable

Standard and highly customizable testing solutions from single components to full vehicles.

One Look and Feel for All NVH Test Systems

Continuous improvements focused on easy handling and a minimal acoustic footprint are the main targets of the design.

Outstanding Acoustic Performance

The well-developed driveline for NVH e-axle testbeds guarantees lowest noise levels in operation to reach a high SNR (signal to noise ratio) for acoustic measurements.

NVH Expertise

Experienced NVH experts at AVL provide customer-orientated solutions for the complete NVH testing lab with multiple testbeds.

Optimized Space Requirements

Extremely low-noise performance as well as optimized shape and surface of the test equipment, for a minimum space requirement in the NVH chamber.

Adaptability to Various Propulsion Systems

Flexible and variable design for fast adaptation to different propulsion systems without compromising NVH performance.

High Performance

High torque capability with precise torque control.

Efficient Assembly and Replacement

Easy, fast assembly and replacement of UUTs for minimal downtime and high test efficiency.

Low Noise Intermediate Bearings

The load systems intermediate bearings are specifically designed for NVH applications to ensure smooth operation with low noise and vibration levels. This ensures the best possible focus on the test object.

Infinitely Variable Adaption Systems

Both track width and wheelbase can be adjusted in infinitely variable increments. This ensures perfectly repeatable mounting conditions for the UUT.

Quick Setup Time for Reduce Down Time

In addition to the focus on NVH performance, great emphasis is placed on ease of use of the test system. This reduces testbeds downtime and optimizes productivity.
