One recurring issue we have seen in the field is battery drainage caused by aftermarket systems. These can include ticketing machines, telematics units, cameras, passenger counting systems, connectivity modules, infotainment equipment, and other auxiliary devices added after the vehicle leaves the OE

From Type Approval to In-Service Conformity For regulatory, quality, and homologation teams, the challenge of electrification goes far beyond drivetrain choice or battery performance. Increasingly, compliance risk is defined by how electrical energy behaves across the entire vehicle lifecycle - and whether that behaviour can be observed non-intrusively . Modern regulation assumes visibility not only at type approval, but through production and real-world operation . In this

Shunt-based power measurements have been the industry standard for decades. But let’s be honest—they're a legacy method. Intrusive,...
