Introduction:

Valmet Automotive is investing around seven million Euros in the construction of its new Battery Test Center at Bad Friedrichshall.

Features:

With this location the company massively expands its test options for its own group as well as service provider for the automotive industry. New ways are also involved in the realization of the building.

The BTC delivers important test work for the battery factory, but also for the own development, which is done at Valmet Automotive.

In order to be able to offer these additional test services in a timely manner, Valmet Automotive has broken new ground with testbed specialist AVL. So Valmet Automotive is expanding its existing battery testing capacities by adding four state-of-the-art AVL battery testbeds in container-based design.

The BTC is characterized in particular in the following points:

• Flexible and pragmatic engagement of multispecialized professionals within the complete product development process.
• State of the Art battery test equipment of AVL with a unique safety concept
• Power for the highest demand of tomorrow with peak performances of up to 3.200A / 1.200V / 1.600kW
• a salt spray chamber (16m³) with active energization of high-voltage battery systems of fully electric vehicles

As a result, the full test capacity will be available as early as February 2020. It is a unique test facility in the region of Heilbronn.
