Test Benches

With our hydrogen test benches, years of experience, Bosch know-how and strict safety precautions meet an exciting new direction. Our services stand for quality and include the application of hydrogen combustion engines containing emission measurements, an innovative engine quick exchange system as well as excellent consulting services.

up to 236 kW | Conditioning -40 °C to +80 °C

With the fuel cell test benches, we are entering a new and very interesting area of mobility by setting up complete fuel cell systems. Our Bosch know-how provides the customer with the best possible quality. We offer the design, application and integration of complete fuel cell systems into vehicles, taking into account the relevant safety precautions.

Four independent electronic motors | Emission measurement

With our NVH chassis dynamometer we can analyze emissions and conduct tests regarding „Noise, Vibration and Harshness“. The dynamometer is suitable for all drive train technologies, especially for hydrogen powertrains which will gain significance in the future. The four independent electric motors allow the simulation of different dynamic driving conditions, such as cornering simulation and active drive torque distribution.

between ±35°C | ISO17025 | WLTP certification

We check compliance with legal requirements such as EU7 and offer the possibility of homologation in cooperation with external technical services. With our climate emissions chassis dynamometer, we can test all types of powertrains in a wide range of temperature conditions. This allows for start-up and warm-up adjustments as well as temperature control of the vehicle and vehicle components.

between ±35 °C | exhaust gas extraction | charging options for electric and hybrid vehicles

Our climate chambers enable efficient temperature measurements of the vehicle and its components, as well as exhaust gas extraction to measure the vehicle's cold start performance. Temperatures between ±35°C for vehicle conditioning can be variably adjusted according to customer requirements. Another special feature is the ability to charge electric vehicles with either direct or alternating current.

up to 310 km/h | 1 MW cooling capacity | charging options for electric and hybrid vehicles

Through our high-performance blower system, we have the ability to test at very high speeds of up to 310 km/h. Even complex boundary conditions such as endurance runs can be conducted reliably and without safety risk thanks to automated driving. Range determination for electric vehicles can also be carried out. In addition, we offer charging options for electric and hybrid vehicles, optionally with direct or alternating current, as well as an in-house gas station, also for special fuels.

Background noise 10 dB(A) | Electric, Hydrogen & Combustion

The unique feature of our test bench is the background noise of 10 dB(A). The four independent electric motors allow the simulation of different dynamic driving conditions, such as cornering simulation and active drive torque distribution. The dynamometer is suitable for all drive train technologies. This allows us to perform emission measurements for any powertrains, whether electric, hydrogen as well as internal combustion engines. In addition, vibration and acoustic optimization for automotive and non-automotive applications can be performed to the highest quality.

-10°C to 40°C | up to 3000 above sea level

We offer RDE measurements to verify emissions compliance under real-world driving conditions. Data is collected and processed according to homologation requirements, reducing development time. Upon request, RDE road profiles can be customized to cover a wide range of driving and traffic situations. Thanks to our mobile climate truck, we can also test at high elevations and engine cold starts. Based on the RDE results, the emission measurements on the chassis dynamometer are verified. On this basis, developmental steps can be adapted and evaluated.

650 kW | 1600 Nm | 27200 rpm

We are ready for the current and upcoming technical developments. On our electric motor test benches, we offer you comprehensive possibilities for the development, testing and release of electric drive systems with up to 650 kW | 1600 Nm | 27200 rpm.

500 kW | 8000 Nm | 3000 rpm

With our e-axle test bench, we support you in the planning, development and implementation of your e-axle tests with up to 500 kW | 8000 Nm | 3000 rpm. You benefit from our extensive know-how in the form of individual consultations.

500 kW | 1200 Arms | 0-1000 V

Our inverter test bench completes our offer in the area of "electrical test benches". Here we offer you the possibility to test your power electronics by emulation even without real e-machine.

1500 V | Coolant fluid Conditioning | Use of Real or Simulated HV Batteries

Our Integration and communication test bench offers the integration and enabeling of communication between HV components and HV modules. This includes e.g. the HV battery, the inverter, the electric power steering and the electric motor or the e-axle. Early system networking shortens development time. This reduces the amount of prototypes needed and enables initial trials or trouble shooting without the expense of road testing.

up to 550 kW | up to 1200 Nm | up to 10000 rpm

With our engine test benches, we offer the integration of components in combustion engines and electric motors. Due to our many years of experience, we offer a very high level of quality in adjusting and optimizing engines to customer-specific requirements. Our innovative engine quick exchange system guarantees the efficiency of the test procedure. In addition, we offer qualified consultation regarding technical details and legal framework.
