The e-mobility market is firmly established and expanding rapidly. As production volumes increase daily, testing must be done more efficiently and within shorter timeframes. The drive system of an electric vehicle (EV) consists of several components, including the e-axle or electric drive unit (EDU), which integrates the electric motor, transmission, and inverter.
While these individual components may have been tested separately, the entire e-axle must also undergo testing to detect potential assembly issues. Noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) are particularly important factors in driver satisfaction, especially in the e-mobility sector.
High Production Volume
Handle high production volume with short takt times and maximum testbed up-time.
Ensure Product Quality
Ensure e-axle quality with minimum investment and operating costs to avoid harming recalls.
Secure Acoustic Performance
Detect acoustic abnormalities reliably before integration into the vehicle.
The electrified powertrain and testing requirements are driving up both complexity and costs. To overcome these challenges, new solutions are needed to reduce costs and accelerate time-to-market while maintaining high quality. With extensive internal AVL E-Axle development expertise and decades of experience in production testing, we have designed AVL E-Axle test systems based on simplicity and robustness.
AVL offers customized test system solutions for End of Line (EoL), Quality Assurance (QA), and Conformity of Production (CoP) testing, meeting the demands of modern e-mobility.

The increasing number of e-drives produced, leads to a fast-growing demand for e-motor end-of-line test equipment. Current test procedures cannot be accelerated with conventional test systems. In addition, at the same time, ensuring the high quality of the e-motors with minimum invest and low operating costs is strongly needed.
To meet the special requirements in production testing, we offer a specialized portfolio.
AVL PUMA 2™ Production is our robust automation system designed for production testing of a range of e-mobility applications.
The AVL Customer Services organization consists of more than 700 service- and application engineers worldwide, operating from more than 50 locations. Our global footprint is your local benefit.
AVL List GmbH received the Global EcoVision Award from WKÖ in the presence of Federal Chancellor Karl Nehammer, Federal Minister Martin Kocher, and WKÖ President Harald Mahrer for the achievements in Hungary.
What kind of cars will we be driving in the future? These and other exciting questions around the topic of "Future Mobility" were addressed by more than 1,000 participants from 25 countries at the international 44th Vienna Motor Symposium. The tenor: Future automobiles will be CO2-neutral.
For his services, Prof. Helmut List was today awarded honorary citizenship of the city of Graz.
AVL generated 1.86 billion Euros in turnover last year – Eleven percent flows into research and development – 60 percent of the turnover is already generated by new technologies.
