e-Mobility solutions

New vehicle energy models translate into the exploration of new territories in electric powertrain technology as well as interconnectivity and interdependency of various automotive components. Due to this, the automotive industry needs strong technical support to ensure that products, systems and components perform correctly, adhering to international safety and regulatory standards, and meeting the highest quality.

e-Mobility services support you in ensuring that your new electric vehicles are safe, efficient, and compliant with global standards. Each major market, like the EU, the U.S., and China, has its own set of regulations that can significantly impact how EVs are designed and marketed. TÜV SÜD’s e-Mobility solutions help you navigate these regulations, especially those related to safety and environmental standards, for successful compliance and market entry.

Overall EV production costs are significant, particularly due to the high prices of essential raw materials like lithium and cobalt. Manufacturers are therefore actively seeking ways to manage costs without compromising on quality and performance. TÜV SÜD’s e-Mobility services support you along the entire value chain to help you optimise efficiencies and minimise costs.

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