A2MAC1 and ZeBeyond partner to bring Simulation-First Powertrain Benchmarking to market

Munich, 22.10.2025 – A2MAC1 and ZeBeyond announce a strategic collaboration that introduces a simulation-first benchmarking platform for electric powertrains. The new approach enables OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers to validate vehicle efficiency and performance within days – compared to traditional teardown and dynamometer testing that can take more than a year.

As automakers race to develop the next generation of electric vehicles, traditional physical testing methods are becoming a bottleneck. By combining A2MAC1’s extensive teardown intelligence with ZeBeyond’s ePOP simulation environment, the partners are creating a faster, data-verified pathway to powertrain insights.

“By combining A2MAC1’s teardown intelligence with ZeBeyond’s ePOP simulation environment, we enable engineering teams to make confident, data-driven decisions weeks after a new vehicle’s release rather than a year later,” says Wiktor Dotter, CEO of ZeBeyond.

Jasmino Burkic, CRO at A2MAC1, adds: “A2MAC1’s mission has always been to enable deeper understanding of vehicle technologies. Partnering with ZeBeyond allows us to enrich our database with virtual validation capabilities–bridging the gap between teardown analysis and real-world performance.”

The collaboration merges A2MAC1’s xEV powertrain database–spanning more than 150 vehicles with ZeBeyond’s ePOP virtual validation tools, creating the largest digital library of powertrain efficiency and performance assets available within weeks of a teardown.

This simulation-first approach establishes a new industry benchmark for rapid, data-driven powertrain development.
