Homologation Readiness Services

Accelerate Certification. Reduce Rework. Launch with Confidence.

Homologation for electric and hybrid vehicles is complex—multiple standards, evolving AIS/CMVR/UN-R rules, and strict behavioural expectations from ECUs, BMS, and powertrain controllers. One failure at the test agency can delay launches by weeks and increase costs significantly.

ECULytics by VG marine closes this gap by preparing your product before it reaches ARAI, ICAT, or GARC etc.

We combine deep expertise in VCU/BMS/MCU software, EV powertrain architectures, and automated HIL testing to ensure your system behaves exactly the way regulations expect.

Our Approach

Understand: We analyse your system, architecture, and compliance requirements.
Validate: We execute targeted pre-homologation tests using HIL, simulation, and bench setups.
Optimise: We highlight issues early and support your engineering team in closing them.
Prepare: We produce agency-ready documentation and technical submissions.
Support: We accompany you during actual homologation tests for faster, smoother approvals.

Why OEMs Choose ECULytics by VG marine

Specialised in EV/HEV powertrain, VCU, BMS, and diagnostics
Strong capability in HIL, test automation, and fault-behaviour validation
Reduces homologation iterations, delays, and cost overruns
Faster time-to-market with end-to-end documentation and technical support
Flexible engagement—from simple gap assessments to full lifecycle programs
