Reliable test results for critical components

At VDL ETS' Component Testing Lab, we test components under realistic and extreme conditions. From electric drivelines to cooling systems and battery packs - we validate performance, durability and safety to the highest standards.

Our approach: flexible, fast and accurate

Thanks to a modular test setup and advanced measurement and control technology, we can quickly switch between different test scenarios. We simulate thermal, mechanical and electrical loads to predict component behaviour in practice. Our test engineers work closely with development teams to design customised test programmes.

What we test:

  • Electric power trains (E-motors, inverters, transmissions)
  • Batteries and battery modules
  • Cooling and thermal management systems
  • Charging components and power electronics
  • Automotive parts
  • High-tec components
  • Aerospace parts
  • Any part or (sub)system subjected to vibration, climate conditions, contamination, vacuum, pressure or other iduces forces

 

Vibration testing to assess the durability of components under differten conditions.
