eDrive & Transmission Assembly Testing

We offer state-of-the-art eDrive and transmission testing systems to validate for speed, power, torque, and performance. With 40+ years of experience supplying hundreds of powertrain and transmission test stands globally for light and heavy-duty vehicles and offroad equipment, our modular testing systems are easily customizable to support today’s rear-wheel drive (RWD), four-wheel drive (FWD), all-wheel drive (AWD), pure electric vehicles (PEV) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) designs. 

With complete systems for functional testing, endurance testing, NVH analysis, and more, eMobility companies can confidently deliver reliable, high-quality vehicles to the market.

eDrive & Transmission Testing Applications

eDrive Testing Systems

eDrive Testing Systems

Our comprehensive eDrive testing systems for electric and hybrid vehicles measure efficiency, power output, and thermal management across varying loads and speeds. Key tests include HiPot and insulation resistance (IR) for assessing eDrive electrical safety. We simulate battery power supply conditions, providing and absorbing high-voltage DC power while precisely monitoring current throughout the test. Customers can optimize the entire EV drivetrain for extended range and reliable operation.

eDrive Assembly Testing Methods

  • AC input & output motors for torque and speed control
  • Flexible input and output driveline positioning
  • Simulation of engine input, inertia, and speed
  • Test sequences, gear shift, clutches & differentials
  • Leak checks, shaft seals, torque converter, torque multiplications, lock up, oil fill & top off
  • Transmission control unit interface or simulation
  • Data acquisition testing
  • NVH analysis

Transmission Testing Systems

We offer advanced transmission assembly and testing systems for new vehicle production, vehicle repairs, and warranty claims. Our production and lab-grade mesh transmission test systems guarantee industry-standard repeatability (GRR) and correlation (R²) for noise and vibration (NVH) testing of powertrain components. Our solutions include gear quality verification, torque measurement, vibration testing, and end-of-line noise checks. Designed to handle large variations in torque and speed, our stands are readily configured for single or multiple models. Other capabilities include modular designs, engineered drivelines, and integrated data acquisition for a truly comprehensive and adaptable testing solution.

Reman Dynamometer Testing Systems

Dynamometer or dyno testing for traditional transmissions and eDrives measures force, torque, power and rotational speed (RPM) of an engine or eMotor. We offer modular remanufactured dynamometer testing systems ideal for areas where warranty claims and repairs are preformed to test that the engine is safe and operational before hitting the road
