Overview
With rising gas prices and government incentives for high-mileage vehicles, everyone is talking about HEV/EV and batteries. What does this mean for the powertrain testing industry? Moving from traditional to advanced powertrain testing will not only change hardware requirements, but also testing methodologies. A&D has created a two-day seminar that will look at the battery systems for HEV and the challenges encountered when doing testing in this expanding industry.
