Electric and Hybrid Vehicle Testing

The EV, BEV, PHEV, HEV, and FCEV Market

In the race to develop the next generation electric vehicle powertrain system or sub-system to satisfy all of the conflicting demands for the SAE J1634 energy consumption range test procedure, driving performance, improved fuel economy,  and reduced vehicle exhaust emissions, MAE has solutions for testing and validation to meet these requirements.

Rapid BEV, HEV, PHEV, and FCEV systems development in today’s globally competitive business environment can often feel like a daunting puzzle. Solving the puzzle requires highly-sophisticated and technically-advanced testing and simulation systems to test and validate each component or sub-component independently, using Hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation to take the place of missing elements of a powertrain system.

Mustang Advanced Engineering has the right resources and products to assist in the engineering, development and validation of your hybrid vehicle systems. As a leading supplier of testing and simulation solutions for the development of powertrains and powertrain components, MAE has been involved in the development of advanced HEV testing and simulation test systems from the very beginning. MAE delivered one of the industry’s first hybrid electric vehicle test systems for GM’s EV1 program in the late 1990’s. When the competition was just learning what a hybrid was, Mustang was delivering more systems for Allison Transmission’s hybrid vehicle powertrain development.  MAE has continued to develop hardware and software for SAE J1634 battery electric vehicle energy consumption range test procedure, meeting EPA J1711, J2711 multi-cycle, single-cycle, 5-cycle, J1634_201707, July 2017 standard motor testing for  EVs.

MAE has extensive experience in the field of production/in-process testing and offers a variety of products and services to support your HEV production testing requirements. MAE’ s engineers will work closely with your team to custom tailor a solution to solve virtually any production testing challenge.

MAE has developed systems to handle multi-function vehicle testing, production electronic & wire harness testing, chassis sensor and electronic testing, production engine and transmission testing and many other applications. MAE can upgrade your existing production line hardware and software, interface with existing databases or supply a complete turnkey HEV EOL testing validation solution.

FULL POWERTRAIN TEST SYSTEMS

MAE offers full powertrain test systems that allow the complete powertrain to be tested outside of the vehicle. MAE can supply complete turnkey systems to precisely simulate full road load and inertia simulation with accurate speed synchronization of the powertrain inputs and outputs. Control of sub-system and powertrain test articles are independtly controlled; such as shifting the axles, shifting the transmission, shifting the transfer case, and controlling the input motor (Engine).
