GUJARAT TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY
BE - Semester 6
Minor Degree : Electrical Vehicles
Subject Code : 116AL02
Subject Name : Testing and Certification of Electrical and Hybrid Vehicles
Type of course : (Electric Vehicle Category)
Prerequisite : Electrical Machines, Fundamentals of EV.
Rationale : Electric vehicles are available in various configurations ranging from Two
wheelers to buses as well. The widespread utilization of Electric vehicles in all
the segments of transportation have made it mandatory to standardize them and
test them. The subject introduces to the major standards available in India as well
as globally. Major tests on Electric and Hybrid vehicles have also been
introduced. After learning this course, the students should be able to test the EVs
effectively.
