Durability testing of vehicles & components on powertrain test stands
TITAN eDrive
E-Motor Testing
The use of e-motors in vehicle production is gaining momentum and its development potential is far from exhausted. In addition, there is a wide range of applications for the drives in various vehicle types. To support this technological diversity, a modular test bench system for testing traction electric motors is required to quickly adapt to the needs of the respective application.
The new generation of the TITAN eDrive is especially made for high-speed durability and functionality testing as well as e-motors with a high overload capacity. It also includes battery simulation capabilities and provides reliable power measurement and analysis for highest flexibility. The Titan eDrive has a modular and future-proof test bed design for easy customization, as well as extension possibilities that can tackle new requirements e.g. expansion with climate chamber.
The TITAN’s powerful HORIBA STARS Automation system provides full integration of all devices and dedicated application packages for e-motor testing as well as co-simulation and interfaces to common simulation systems.
