Validate Energy Impact of Every Software
and Hardware Change
Public Transport OEM · Software, calibration &
hardware update validation
Challenge
-
OEM clients frequently submit vehicles for re-testing after software updates, calibration changes, or hardware modifications-but testing labs lack tools to quickly verify energy impact
-
1-8% undetected energy drift from software or calibration changes can invalidate previous certification results, requiring full re-testing and delaying client timelines
-
Testing labs cannot isolate which specific change (software, calibration, component swap) caused performance variation-forcing clients to repeat expensive validation cycles
-
Current validation protocols rely on full re-testing rather than targeted impact assessment, reducing facility throughput and increasing costs for both labs and clients
-
Competitive pressure to offer fast turnaround "delta validation" services that verify changes without full re-certification
V-Hola Solution
-
Rapid energy impact assessment of software updates, calibration changes, and hardware modifications-comparing post-change performance to baseline fingerprints
-
Subsystem-level validation to isolate exactly which components were affected by the change-providing clients with precise root-cause evidence
-
Automated detection of 1–5% energy drift across subsystems before committing to full certification re-testing
-
"Delta validation" service capability: quick verification that changes did not negatively impact performance, enabling client approvals faster.
-
Continuous baseline tracking across multiple test sessions and vehicle configurations
Impact
-
Enables high-margin "fast-track validation" services for software and calibration updates-delivering results in days instead of weeks
-
Reduces unnecessary full re-testing by quickly verifying that changes did not impact certification performance
-
Improves facility throughput by offering targeted validation services alongside traditional full-cycle testing
-
Strengthens client relationships through rapid turnaround and transparent change impact reporting
-
Creates competitive differentiation as labs that can offer advanced delta validation services attract more repeat business
