AVL E-Axle TS™ Performance

The test system for integrated perfection.
E-Axle Performance Testbed for Light Duty Application

As the mobility industry shifts towards electrification, the demand for specialized e-axle test systems has surged. These systems must comprehensively address the testing requirements for e-motors, inverters, and transmissions. With rapid innovation in electric drive technologies, our customers need test solutions that are not only efficient but also fast, enabling swift product development cycles.

A dedicated test system focused on service lifetime, performance, efficiency, and thermal management is essential. These systems are tailored specifically for single or twin-motor e-axles, ensuring robust testing capabilities that support the fast-paced demands of modern electrification projects.

An e-axle or electric drive unit integrates an electric motor, transmission, and inverter into a compact, high-power-density system. Optimized for efficiency, performance, and drivability, these integrated e-axles present a challenge in testing, as the components cannot be easily separated. The test system must meet service lifetime, performance, and thermal behavior standards for all three components.

To save time and cost, the test system should streamline e-axle development and be easy to install without disrupting ongoing projects. It should also be expandable to accommodate future demands while minimizing additional costs.

E-Axle Performance Testbed for Light Duty Application
Minimized TCO

Pre-engineered solution to be productive in testing as soon as possible.

Increased Efficiency

Accelerate your productivity with a seamless integration of all tools including the automation system.

High Sustainability

Systems are build with regards to use minimum electrical grid power.

Predictive Maintenance

Efficient test planning with predictive maintenance.

Compact and Flexible Testing

The AVL E-Axle TS™ Performance is a customizable solution to develop and validate your light-duty e-axle, supporting both single and twin motor configurationsIt offers efficient testing for service lifetime and thermal endurance, as well as analyzing electrical, mechanical and thermal characteristics.

The System consists of two dynamometers as load system which are installed on one common frame. This frame does not require a specific testbed pit and can be set up on any industrial floor.

The UUT support frame allows quick handling, reducing testbed downtime, while climatic chambers and conditioning systems enable testing under various conditions. With an integrated DC source in the inverter to reduce grid power needs, the system is pre-tested and ready for containerized installation, enabling rapid testing setup.

Testing Efficiency

Optimized UUT rigging increases testing efficiency and reduces testbed down time.

Smart Energy Management

Reduced grid power due to integrated isolated DC source for your e-drive.

Small Installation Size

Compact testbed design of only 5.000 x 1.900 mm.

AVL Automation

Our powerful AVL PUMA 2 automation system allows systematic e-axle testing for a wide range of applications. It enables precise measurement and closed-loop control of key parameters such as speed and torque.

Energy Efficiency

Modern converter technology allows the integration of a galvanic isolated DC source to supply the power electronics of the e-axle into one drive cabinet. This reduces footprint and grid connection power.

Environmental Tests

Our climatic chambers and conditioning systems enable testing under different climatic conditions. This is mandatory to fulfill test standards such as HTOE and PTCE in e-drive development

E-Axle Production Test System
E-Axle Production

Based on years of experience in research and development, as well as production, we have developed AVL E-Axle TS™ Production. It provides End of Line (EOL) and Conformity of Production (COP) testing for electric drive applications, from passenger cars to high performance vehicles, as well as industrial applications.

Climatic Chamber Battery Pack Testing
Climatic Chamber Portfolio

Battery packs, modules and cells, fuel cells, e-motor and e-axle solutions must operate safely and reliably in any environment. This can include extreme temperatures and humidity, which cannot be reproduced on the test track or in real test scenarios on the road. This is why we developed the modular AVL Climate Chamber.

Overview of the AVL conditioning systems
Conditioning Systems

Thermal conditions and environment of Units Under Test have strong impacts on real results in driving. For this reason, the thermal simulation must be as exact as possible – which can be achieved via deployment of high performing media conditioning systems.
