Flexible testing solutions for fuel cell powertrain development

The latest trends in propulsion technologies are leading to changing requirements for powertrain development. Electrification and alternative fuels – such as hydrogen – are strongly pushing the investment in new testbeds in this field as well as the modernization of existing laboratories for new applications. Horiba can offer flexible testing solutions for the validation of all propulsion components (fuel cell, e-motor and battery), up to the complete fuel cell powertrain. Fuel cell powertrain test environments are powerful toolboxes for energy management optimization that can help improve the efficiency and driving range of FCEVs.
