The areas of eDrive and electrics / electronics show a whole range of services and capabilities with which iinovis takes a leading role in mobility.
Both areas complement each other through their natural synergies.
The eDrive & Battery Engineering division has its strengths in the planning and implementation of high-voltage projects. We have combined both areas of expertise, electric drive control and battery development, in order to offer our customers and development partners the necessary, comprehensive know-how for the development of 48V and high-voltage drive systems.
The area of Fuel Cell Systems has a promising future for iinovis, with many active projects and several years of experience our specialist are able to provide important expertise and knowledge. This enables us to embrace and accelerate future topics in the area of fuel cells.
Our very intense experience in both prototype and series cable harness development in the entire range (from low-voltage to high-voltage) is greatly valued by our customers. Costumers benefit from our in-house cable harness production which allows a high degree of flexibility and enables fantastic synergy effects, especially in the area of costs, as well as reaction time with the excellent quality standards.
Our innovative approach focuses on the requirements of electrical architecture development, taking into account networking and development methodology. This enables us to offer an EE architecture that also includes and fulfils the functionality, efficiency and type approval-relevant topics of functional safety and cyber security and autonomous driving functions.
Our extensive know-how in validation and verification testing provides a full-service package for our customers.

Simulation
The Simulation business unit offers a wide range of services for all types of customers – from OEMs to tier suppliers. Over the years, we have developed excellent simulation expertise, ranging from complete vehicle systems to various components.
We always keep pace with technological developments and our goal is to offer state-of-the-art simulation as a service. We are specialists in the field of battery and fuel cell development.
Thermal simulation for the design of high-voltage storage systems and electronic components, as well as safety-relevant simulations, e.g. electrochemical simulations, heat propagation and venting, are among our core competencies. In addition, we have a great deal of expertise in the area of integrating high-voltage storage systems/components into the vehicle, taking into account all country-specific legal requirements, e.g. ECE R100, GB/T China.
