UL Solutions Inc. announced the opening of its Europe Advanced Battery Testing Laboratory in Aachen, Germany. This new facility significantly expands the company’s battery technology testing capabilities and its European footprint, specifically targeting batteries used in electric vehicles (EVs) and large-scale energy storage systems.
The purpose-built laboratory will evaluate EV and industrial battery products during research and development phases and provide comprehensive evaluations of finished products to meet safety and performance requirements. This enables original equipment manufacturers to access global markets.
The Aachen laboratory replaces a smaller leased facility from UL Solutions' 2024 acquisition of BatterieIngenieure, which increased capacity for tests, advanced simulations, and in-depth failure analysis. The facility will conduct rigorous tests to determine cell, module, and battery lifetimes, as well as evaluate safety and performance against threats like misuse, off-gassing, and thermal runaway.
