Hybrid and Electrical Transportation
For hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) and power hardware-in-the-loop (PHIL) testing of electronic control units, real-time simulations must be as accurate as possible. A reliable test environment for electric and hybrid vehicle applications requires high-fidelity models, ultra-fast control loops, and the fastest possible input-output communication. Our FPGA-based simulation software operates with nanosecond-level time steps, ensuring unmatched precision and performance in real-time testing. Combined with powerful solvers and CPU capabilities, we provide the technology needed to push the boundaries of electric vehicle innovation.
