Range Certification - Cutting Repeated Test Cycles

Public Transport OEM · UITP E-SORT certification & route
range validation programs

10 - 30% variability in range test results across nominally identical runs
No intrusive measurement tools allowed during official UITP E-SORT certification and homologation cycles
Hundreds of repeated test cycles (SORT 1, 2, 3) driving up test costs and delaying production start-up (SOP)
Bus route certification for public tenders requires consistent, predictable range performance across diverse duty cycles and passenger loads
Operator commitments and tender compliance depend on validated range guarantees

Non-intrusive energy fingerprinting of key vehicle subsystems (propulsion, HVAC, auxiliaries, doors, compressors) during pre-certification runs and route validation
Detection of energy drift versus a trusted reference power map across SORT cycles and real-world routes
Early identification of "blind spot" anomalies before final homologation tests and tender submissions
Validation across diverse duty cycles, passenger loads, stop-and-go patterns, and climate conditions relevant to urban, suburban, and intercity routes

30 - 70% reduction in repeated UITP E-SORT certification cycles
Predictable certification readiness and on-time production start-up (SOP)
Significant savings in track time, depot testing, route validation, engineering hours, and material costs
Enhanced confidence in meeting tender requirements, operator range commitments, and public procurement specifications
