Quality Assurance for eMobility
Reliability and efficiency for all components
Your partner for quality assurance of electric vehicles
Rapidly growing demand on the global market for new energy vehicles (NEVs) is putting more pressure on manufacturers and suppliers. Core components such as batteries play a particularly vital role in terms of the output, range, structure, and safety of these vehicles. Quality assurance must master new challenges while preventing production bottlenecks.
With over 1,000 customers in the global electric vehicle sector, ZEISS is one of the leading partners for this dynamic and evolving industry. From research to production and from Xray microscopy to non-destructive computed tomography (CT), its solutions deliver the efficiency, reliability, and safety that electric mobility demands.
Every component, every application in eMobility
Battery
Electrifying mobility
Batteries are crucial to the long-term performance and range of electric cars. From R&D to production, the monitoring of properties down to the level of the materials, electrodes, cells, modules, and tray ensures the success of battery technologies.
Electric motor
Power through precision
Compact and light, yet capable of high speed and torque. Components must fit precisely to generate maximum power with minimal wear. Precise production and assembly of the hairpins and stator are a key challenge in the latest motor generation.
Fuel cell system
Sophisticated supply
Provides all energy powering the electric motor, with many cells arranged in series and connected in the fuel cell stack. Its construction process demands the highest quality standards in the production and development of each individual component.
Power electronics
Energizing the vehicle
Power electronics control the flow of power between the battery and the electric motor. Multi-scale quality monitoring of semiconductors, PCBs, and finished modules is essential for boosting component efficiency and reliability.
Transmission
Compact powerhouse
Electric vehicle powertrains feature a single- or two-speed transmission that shares a housing with the motor. Quality requirements remain high, with multiple measuring and inspection steps needed for top performance, low wear, and quiet operation.
