DEKRA has officially opened its new Battery Test Center at the DEKRA Lausitzring in Brandenburg. This is the place where the international company carries out rigorous testing of batteries, including those for electric vehicles.

The state-of-the-art test center will offer a comprehensive spectrum of battery tests under one roof. In addition to mechanical tests, performance and environmental tests, there will also be abuse tests in which batteries are subjected to stresses far beyond their normal use.

The new DEKRA Battery Test Center: millions of euros invested

DEKRA operates a large number of highly specialized testing laboratories that specialize in automotive testing scenarios. With this network, DEKRA supports its customers worldwide in the most important target regions and invests significantly in expanding its service portfolio around future automotive trends, such as V2X (Vehicle-to-Everything) communication, charging stations, driver assistance systems (ADAS), and open road services.

“The site here in Klettwitz, like no other in the DEKRA Group, represents comprehensive vehicle testing before they go on the road – ensuring that everyone involved knows that the technology is safe. The fact that our customers from the automotive and supplier industries can find such a comprehensive range of services from a single source and in one place here is an important success factor, and that is precisely why we are opening the Battery Test Center not just anywhere in the world, but right here”, commented Guido Kutschera, Executive Vice President of the DEKRA Group responsible for business in Germany, Switzerland, and Austria.
