E-mobility and EV solutions

What is e-mobility and what kind of services are related?

Climate change and global warming are creating a need for radical changes how we consume energy. Government regulations to reduce carbon emissions drive the demand for alternative fuel vehicles. Powered by batteries or fuel cells, electric vehicles are the future of road transport.

To date, the electric drivetrain marks the most advanced road transportation technology and is ready to become the global future of transport. The term e-mobility represents this important change in the automotive industry.

E-mobility solutions like electric cars, e-bikes, e-motorbikes, e-buses, and e-trucks, can store energy on board and are either entirely or partially powered by electricity. Plugging an electric vehicle into a charging station allows it to draw power from the grid.

These new vehicle energy models translate into exploring of new territories in electric powertrain technology and interconnectivity and interdependency of various automotive components. Due to this, the automotive industry needs strong technical support in the form of e-mobility solutions to ensure that their products, systems, and components perform correctly, are safe, meet international regulatory standards, and meet the highest quality.

E-mobility services support you in component and system testing and certification, full-vehicle homologation, compliance, benchmarking, and various training services.

Why are e-mobility services important?

The fast development of alternative fuels has led to increasing demand for electric and hybrid vehicles, a trend that will continue to grow in the coming years. Through e-mobility, we can switch from using fossil fuels that emit CO2 to using energy from electrical power sources that are recharged via the electrical grid. Electromobility will lead to a cleaner, healthier, and more accessible future for everyone by decarbonising the transportation sector.

As your one-stop service provider for all your e-mobility vehicle services and needs, we offer EV mobility solutions from production facility audits, functional safety assessments, and global market access to complete vehicle and component testing, certification, homologation, and training. We support you in ensuring the effective adoption of electric vehicle technologies in global markets.  

By working together with us you will gain various benefits:

• Ensure that all your new technologies, products and infrastructure are safe, reliable, and meet the highest level of quality by fulfilling the specifications and requirements of the industry and international standards.
• Develop safe and sustainable solutions to ensure long-term and scalable growth by working with a team of multidisciplinary experts with extensive expertise in the areas of automotive infrastructure, battery and alternative energy concepts.
• Minimise risk and optimise your product designs during the development process.
• Meet industry and regulatory requirements to facilitate a smooth entry into new markets.

TÜV SÜD is your one-stop service partner for the efficient development of e-mobility solutions and products

Electric transportation will help balance the need for energy, energy storage, and environmental sustainability. Less than 1% of all vehicle sales in India go toward the electric vehicle sector, which is far behind. Indian roads are currently dominated by conventional vehicles, with only a small number of electric cars—a few thousand—and about 0.4 million electric two-wheelers.

TÜV SÜD has extensive global experience in e-mobility solutions. We provide a full range of e-mobility services to help you meet the safety requirements of electric vehicles. Our EV Mobility solutions cover all aspects of the process, from design to development. With our globally accredited laboratories (DIN EN 

ISO/IEC 17025) we assist you in testing your products and overcoming existing challenges.

Backed by a century of automotive safety experience, TÜV SÜD serves as a one-stop facilitator for the safe implementation of EV solutions, from the earliest blueprints to market commercialisation. We provide a comprehensive range of EV solutions that address the vehicle, battery, and infrastructure aspects of e-mobility.

We support our customers from the first step and through the entire development phase – guiding them with our expertise, testing capabilities and knowledge of global standards and market requirements. Across our various global battery and integrated e-mobility laboratories in Europe, North America and Asia, our global expert teams support you in developing safe, reliable and high-quality e-Mobility products and components. Together, we are determined to keep paving the way for a successful electrification of our transport system.
