PULSETRAIN GmbH (originally founded as Bavertis) is a technology company that develops electric powertrains. The company combines traditional powertrain systems with a pulsing technology for batteries.[1] PULSETRAIN has offices in Munich, Germany, and Graz, Austria.[2][3]

History

[edit]

PULSETRAIN, originally founded as Bavertis in 2022, was conceptualized through the doctoral thesis of Dr. Manuel Kuder and further developed with Niclas Lehnert,[4] focusing on sustainable long living and efficient energy solutions. The company, headquartered in Munich, Bavaria, Germany, initially concentrated on making battery systems smarter, more modular, and more durable.[citation needed][5] PULSETRAIN GmbH continues with the technological approach and focuses on improving service life for battery storage systems in mobility applications.[6]

The company has received several awards for its technology. In 2022, the company was on the 1st Place in the I.E.C.T Challenge X Alpine Tech,[7] the GreenTech Venture Award,[citation needed][8] and the VDE Bayern Award.[9][10] The company also won the Münchner Businessplan Wettbewerb[11] and Gründerszene Pitch-Battle in 2023,[12] and was listed in the European Startup Prize TOP 50.[13][14] In 2024, it extended battery life of electric vehicles.[15][16] In November 2024, PULSETRAIN won the Süddeutsche Zeitung Gipfelstürmer Award in the Mobility category for its system that extends battery lifespan.[17]

In March 2025, PULSETRAIN GmbH raised €6.1M in seed financing to transform EV battery performance and efficiency.[18][19] The funding round, led by Vsquared Ventures and Planet A, with support from Climate Club, will be used to advance product development and prepare for scaling and industrialization.[20][21][22]

PULSETRAIN GmbH creates AI-driven and fully integrated battery management systems.[23][24]

Technology and products

[edit]

The company provides a fully integrated powertrain technology that combines an onboard charger, inverter, and battery management system with AI software. This technology aims to energy management and performance in electric vehicles.[25][26]

PULSETRAIN’s technology integrates the Battery Management System (BMS), inverter, and charging electronics into a single "In-Battery" technology,[27] incorporating a multilevel inverter and AI to enhance energy efficiency and extend electric vehicle battery lifespan by up to 80%.[28][29]
