Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs)

The TrueData X-OPS 48 systems are able to emulate the behavior of electrical energy storage systems up to 60 V both functionally and electrically for electric vehicle development.

Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs) are vehicles with a combination of an internal combustion engine and an e-motor. A full HEV depends on regenerative technologies and ICE charging.

Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs)

The End-of-Line system of the Evaluator series is tailored to the needs of complex production processes for battery pack development in electric vehicle development.

Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) receive their power solely from a battery pack without assistance from an ICE, with the possible exception of a range extender.
