Germany – It is being claimed the world’s largest development and test centre for high-voltage batteries for passenger and commercial vehicles was opened by the FEV Group in Aachen on September 25. Inaugurated by Professor Stefan Pischinger, president and CEO of FEV Group, the durability testing centre (known by its German abbreviation eDLP) is another major milestone for the Aachen-based global vehicle developer in its more than 40-year history.
Pischinger, at the opening ceremony, remarked: “As a globally leading developer of technologies for electric vehicles, FEV is advancing innovation and forward-looking solutions. With the eDLP, we are providing our customers with proof of this claim once again. After all, in addition to optimal technological support, we can also save development time and costs for our partners. We can offer every internationally established test method for batteries on currently 69 systems – all under one roof.”
