We have in-house test benches for measuring individual components as well as entire drive systems.

Depending on client requirements, performance data for power electronics, controlling electrical machines, and the entire power train are set out in detail.

Among other things, the torques, outputs, component temperatures, vibrations, coolant temperatures, and throughflow can be continuously recorded during systems operation.

Test benches for electrical machines up to 500 kW with liquid cooling circuits from -25 °C to +120 °C are available.

Software function for machine and system control is also optimized and verified on the test benches. Extensive measurement and testing experience allows comprehensive coverage of development results.

We use a special test bench with stable containment for very-high-speed electrical machines, e.g., flywheel storages, during the development and test phase.

If necessary, the test bench environment can be equipped or converted for specific project requirements.

Congratulations to the winners of the WRC and many thanks for the last 4 years

Congratulations to Hyundai Motor Company's Thierry Neuville / Martijn Wydaeghe for the Drivers' World Championship title and to TOYOTA GAZOO Racing Europe for the 2024 FIA World Rally Championship Manufacturers' World Championship title.

Compact Dynamics' time as the exclusive series supplier of the FIA's hybrid system for the WRC rallies from 2022 to 2024 will unfortunately come to an end with the abolition of the hybrid unit in the Rally1 cars from 2025.

Many thanks to the teams of Hyundai Motor Company, Toyota Motor Corporation and Ford Motor Company/M-Sport, to the WRC Promoter GmbH and to the FIA World Rally Championship for the good cooperation. A heartfelt thank you to Edouard Montagner Fricker, Laurent Le Bastard and Barny Whitwham, our WRC track support team, for their excellent work on site.
