Ensuring acoustic comfort of hybrid and electric vehicles means tackling a host of new phenomena. An electric motor often generates annoying high-frequency tonal noises, while hybrid powertrains provoke transient noise. Traditional noise sources, such as road noise and wind noise, become more prominent without the masking noise of an internal combustion engine. Additionally, new noise sources that went unnoticed in the past need to be considered, such as HVAC, battery cooling, and steering systems.
Our integrated solutions combine engineering services and the best of simulation and testing tools to help EV and HEV manufacturers and suppliers deliver superior NVH and acoustic performance of the electric drive, battery, and full vehicle.
