German startup PULSETRAIN has raised €6.1 million in seed financing to develop its powertrain technology.
The financing round was led by Vsquared Ventures and Planet A and joined by Climate Club. PULSETRAIN said it will use the funds to accelerate its product development as the company prepares to industrialize and scale.
PULSETRAIN takes a holistic approach, integrating the functions of the battery management system (BMS), the inverter and the charging electronics into a highly integrated “In-Battery” solution. The multilevel inverter is designed to enable more efficient energy utilization through a combination of hardware and software. A standardized electronic system enables the integration of the entire powertrain inside the battery housing, reducing the number of components.
The company is initially focusing on the electrification of two-wheelers and commercial vehicles before expanding the system to other sectors such as automotive, aviation, agriculture and shipping. PULSETRAIN is working on developing and implementing a test vehicle and production planning.
“Today’s powertrain technologies originate from traditional electrical engineering, while battery systems have their roots in chemistry. Additionally, a significant software component is required to control battery-powered vehicles. PULSETRAIN unites these three fields of expertise, developing a new, more powerful, software-driven architecture designed for e-mobility,” said Thomas Plaschko, co-founder of PULSETRAIN. “We reduce weight, increase battery lifespan, and simultaneously lower costs. This allows manufacturers to produce lighter, more efficient, and cost-optimized vehicles.”
