Hybrid Electric
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.
Automotive electrification is transforming vehicle development across passenger vehicles, commerical vehicles, off-highway equipment, marine, and aerospace applications. From battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and hybrid vehicles to fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs), manufacturers face increasing demands to improve efficiency, extend driving range, ensure safety, and accelerate development timelines.
HORIBA provides comprehensive automotive electrification testing solutions that support every stage of electric vehicle development. Our portfolio spans battery testing, battery emulation, e-motor testing, fuel cell evaluation, powertrain validation, vehicle testing, and test automation—helping engineers move from research and development to production-ready vehicles with confidence.
Whether developing passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles, off-highway equipment, marine systems, or aerospace technologies, HORIBA delivers the measurement, automation, and testing expertise needed to support the transition toward a more electrified future.
HORIBA supports automotive electrification programs through advanced testing, measurement, engineering, and validation solutions for battery electric, hybrid electric, plug-in hybrid, and fuel cell electric vehicles.
Battery Testing Solutions play a critical role in the development of lithium-ion (Li-ion) cells, which have become the cornerstone of modern electric vehicle powertrains. Our comprehensive battery testing services ensure the safety, reliability, and performance of battery packs, supporting the growing demand for automotive electrification and electric mobility.
