GKN Automotive has created a 'real time' test rig capable of handling the unique requirements of electric vehicles to develop the most advanced, efficient, and capable cars in the market.
The rig which is installed at GKN Automotive's Offenbach facility is able to handle extreme dynamics and higher torque figures generated by electric powertrains. The 'real time' capability is able to test specific load data provided by customers, from small electric city powerful SUVs and is able to dynamically control speed and torque to replicate wheelspin and other complex driving conditions.
Electric car batteries will require more sophisicated rigs to test dynamics and output GKN's rig also sets new industry standards for precision and quality control in the testing of electric vehicle components and enables engineers to deliver the lightest, most efficient solutions with no compromise on capability.
As of now, GKN Automotive is already providing eDrive systems to more than two million electrified vehicles across the globe, with core driveline components selected for use in powertrain systems by a number of the world's leading electric vehicle manufacturers.
