The team at NTC combines deep technical knowledge with DGUV-certified expertise (Deutsche Gesetzliche Unfallversicherung - German Social Accident Insurance). Their capabilities span thermal propagation, fire-resistance, post-mortem analysis, short-circuit and abuse testing, ARC (Accelerating Rate Calorimetry), and CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) thermal simulations.

Beyond testing, the team is also highly skilled in instrumentation setup, data acquisition, and post-processing, with additional strengths in FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared) gas analysis, dielectric-oil characterization, and hazardous materials logistics. Supported by dedicated personnel, including firefighters and logistics staff, the team ensures precision, safety, and innovation in every project.

Designed for full-spectrum testing, the Battery Testing Site at Nardò Technical Center supports every level of battery integration—from individual cells and modules to full packs for BEV (Battery Electric Vehicle), PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle), and MHEV (Mild Hybrid Electric Vehicle), reactors, and complete vehicles. Its advanced technologies enable precise replication of test scenarios to analyze thermal events, evaluate containment systems, and verify protection devices.

Thanks to a comprehensive suite of advanced technical instruments, clients benefit from a fully digital experience with secure live streaming and comprehensive data acquisition through standard, infrared, and high-speed cameras. Post-test analysis, supported by a specialized chemist, transforms data into strategic insights that drive continuous improvement in battery safety and performance.

Engineered for round-the-clock operation under rigorous safety conditions, the Battery Testing Site integrates fire-resistant steel paneling, advanced ventilation systems, and a high-capacity extraction unit with an integrated hood for safe substance handling. Overpressure panels further enhance safety during extreme testing scenarios.

The facility includes:

• a battery tear-down zone for disassembly and immediate analysis

• a DUT (Device Under Test) preparation area

• a controlled lab space for precision testing

• an immersion tank capable of accommodating vehicles up to SUV category

Together, these elements enable complex testing under controlled conditions, ensuring both safety and optimal performance.
