- In March 2025, AVL, a global leader in automotive development and testing solutions, announced the enhancement of its AVL VSound platform, designed to simulate and optimize vehicle acoustics virtually. The upgraded tool integrates AI to predict NVH behavior in early development phases, improving speed and precision in acoustic engineering services for electric and hybrid vehicles.
- In January 2025, Siemens Digital Industries Software unveiled a significant update to its Simcenter Testlab software, enabling faster and more detailed acoustic testing. The new release supports the integration of psychoacoustic parameters for a more refined cabin sound experience, tailored to EV-specific NVH challenges.
- In December 2024, Bertrandt AG expanded its acoustic test facilities in Germany to accommodate increasing demand for EV-specific sound design and NVH optimization. The upgraded facility includes semi-anechoic chambers and simulation environments tailored for e-motor harmonics and battery system noise profiling.
- In October 2024, EDAG Group partnered with Brüel & Kjær to develop a comprehensive acoustic engineering package specifically for autonomous and electric vehicles. This collaboration leverages Brüel & Kjær’s NVH measurement tools with EDAG’s vehicle integration expertise to deliver end-to-end acoustic solutions from concept to validation.
- In August 2024, Mahle Powertrain announced the establishment of a new acoustic test chamber in the UK focused on hybrid and electric powertrain systems. This facility supports full vehicle and component-level acoustic evaluations, enabling OEMs to meet tightening noise regulations while enhancing in-cabin comfort.
