All of the hybrid powertrain test sites are fully transient capable and differ from conventional powertrain test cells primarily in terms of dynamometer capability and battery emulation/simulation.

Each of the new hybrid cells are utilized for powertrain and controller development, calibration, benchmarking, validation and durability testing. These cells, combined with FEV’s experienced hybrid staff, provide its customers with the flexibility and technology to develop a wide range of current and future hybrid systems.

The test cells feature full powertrain and driveline testing capabilities allowing for full system development, including strategy and algorithm development; component, system and vehicle calibration; performance and durability testing; development of software and diagnostic functions; remote hybrid battery emulation; battery network management testing; and vehicle and powertrain benchmarking.
