Launching a new car company!

Importance of engineering reliability from the beginning.

HBK's Design for Reliability (DfR) approach helps electric vehicle manufacturers build sustainability and customer confidence into every stage of development Launching a new car company is a monumental task; launching one dedicated to sustainability and adventure adds another layer of complexity.*

As a new EV manufacturer, Hottinger Brüel & Kjær’s (HBK) customer needed to deliver exceptionally durable vehicles and charging products, proving their long-term reliability without historical data, and building brand trust in a competitive market.

The customer’s Design for Reliability (DfR) department decided to implement HBK’s ReliaSoft suite for test design, lifetime predictions using test and customer fleet data, and comprehensive system reliability modeling across all vehicle and charging hardware.

This proactive DfR program provided 9% improvement in product development efficiency by accelerating product maturation, provided early insights into lifetime performance, optimised designs for durability, and built deep-seated confidence in the reliability of their innovative electric vehicle ecosystem.
