ZeBeyond
ZeBeyond offers ePOP, a power system simulation software that enables fast, accurate e-powertrain analysis during early concept stages. The platform evaluates thousands of architecture combinations using validated physics, helping engineering teams select optimal hybrid-electric or hydrogen powertrain designs before committing significant budget. ePOP has been applied in defense and automotive projects, including battlefield mission simulation for hybrid-electric vehicles and hydrogen feasibility studies for the Canadian Armed Forces.

Problem
Electrification increases architectural complexity, but concept-stage tools are either too basic or too complex, costly, and slow. Simple tools like spreadsheets cannot evaluate thousands of architecture combinations or apply validated physics across a multi-variable design space, while CAE tools require full bills of materials, specialist operators, and long model-building cycles, risking settling on a local optimum rather than the best architecture.
Solution
ePOP is a power system simulation software that enables fast, efficient, and accurate e-powertrain analysis, allowing users to select and validate ideal architectures before committing the majority of their budget. It bridges the gap between basic spreadsheets and complex CAE tools by applying validated physics across a multi-variable design space without requiring full bills of materials or specialist operators. The platform translates complex outputs into decision-ready insights for non-technical stakeholders, ensuring analysis is clear and actionable. ePOP has been used in diverse applications, from battlefield mission simulation for hybrid-electric defence vehicles to hydrogen powertrain feasibility studies at programme scale.
Target Audience
Primary customers are engineering teams in the automotive, commercial vehicle, and defence sectors, including organizations like Jaguar Land Rover, Stellantis, Dstl, and the National Research Council of Canada, who need to evaluate hybrid-electric and hydrogen powertrain architectures during early concept stages.
