Ensuring driving safety necessitates rigorous testing of electric drive systems, thereby creating a substantial market demand for related testing equipment.

Electric drive system testing equipment tailored for new energy vehicles, such as pure electric and hybrid electric vehicles, is specifically designed to evaluate the performance and reliability of these systems.

The electric drive system typically comprises three components: the drive motor assembly, the motor controller assembly, and the transmission assembly. The integrated three-in-one electric drive system holds the most promise. Amid the trend towards lightweight new energy vehicles, its market penetration has been steadily increasing each year. As a critical component, the electric drive system significantly impacts a vehicle's operating efficiency, lifespan, reliability, safety, and driving comfort. Consequently, testing these systems is vital for ensuring safety, leading to a vast market demand for testing equipment.

Electric drive system testing encompasses numerous items, generally categorized into static and dynamic testing. By simulating various driving and operating conditions, the testing equipment can perform various tests, including temperature rise, safety, environmental adaptability, reliability, efficiency, torque response time, and torque control accuracy.

According to the "2025-2029 China New Energy Vehicle Electric Drive System Testing Equipment Market Monitoring and Future Development Prospects Research Report" published by the Sinsi Industry Research Center, the global market size for this equipment reached approximately 2.67 billion yuan in 2023, with China as the largest consumer market. It is projected that from 2024 to 2029, the global market size will further expand, exceeding 4 billion yuan by 2029.

In recent years, technological advancements have led to an increase in the number of global enterprises offering electric drive system testing equipment for new energy vehicles. Notable players include Team Technik, AVL List GmbH, HORIBA, Ltd., Chongqing University of Technology Qingyan Lingchuang Measurement and Control Technology Co., Ltd., Jiangsu Liance Electromechanical Technology Co., Ltd., Shanghai Huayi Technology Group Co., Ltd., and Wuxi RDI Measurement and Control Technology Co., Ltd. This has intensified market competition.

The upstream of the industry chain for electric drive system testing equipment primarily involves the supply of various components and materials, such as torque sensors, test bench motors, power analyzers, and simulated power supplies. The downstream comprises the application layer, including automobile manufacturers, developers, parts manufacturers (for factory inspection), and other enterprises.

Industry analysts from Sinsi World emphasize that the growth of the new energy vehicle industry has fueled the development of electric drive system testing equipment. Data from the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers indicates that from January to October 2024, China's production and sales of new energy vehicles reached 9.779 million and 9.750 million units, respectively, up 33.0% and 33.9% year-on-year. As the world's largest new energy vehicle market, China presents a significant demand for electric drive system testing equipment, albeit amid intensifying market competition.
