Battery Emulation
Realistic battery, fuel cell, and power system emulation in automotive and energy testing
Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) operate solely on electrical energy stored in high-voltage battery systems, eliminating the need for an internal combustion engine (ICE). As the automotive industry accelerates toward electrification, BEVs are central to achieving zero-emission mobility.
At the core of every BEV is the battery system—one of the most complex and performance-critical components. It must deliver reliability, safety, and efficiency across a wide range of operating conditions while meeting cost targets and regulatory requirements.
At HORIBA’s advanced global facilities, BEVs can be evaluated under controlled, real-world conditions using chassis dynamometers and integrated test systems. This enables precise validation of electric powertrain performance, battery behavior, and system integration, ensuring vehicles meet performance, safety, and regulatory standards.

Still have questions about BEV testing or development?
A Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) is a fully electric vehicle powered exclusively by a rechargeable battery, without the use of an internal combustion engine. BEVs rely on electric motors for propulsion and must be charged via external power sources. They are a key technology for achieving zero-emission mobility.
Battery systems are the most critical and complex component of a BEV. Testing ensures performance, safety, durability, and reliability under various operating conditions. It also helps manufacturers optimize battery lifespan, efficiency, and cost while meeting regulatory requirements.
HORIBA provides end-to-end solutions for BEV testing and development, including battery testing, e-motor and powertrain validation, and full vehicle testing. Combined with advanced automation software and engineering expertise, HORIBA helps manufacturers accelerate development and ensure safe system integration.
HORIBA offers a comprehensive portfolio of BEV testing solutions, including:
Battery emulation replicates the behavior of real batteries in a controlled test environment. This allows engineers to safely test components such as powertrains and charging systems without using physical batteries, improving efficiency and reducing development risks.
HORIBA supports functional safety through dedicated engineering expertise and compliance with standards such as ISO 26262. This ensures that electrical, electronic, and software systems in BEVs are tested and integrated safely.
