PULSETRAIN has raised €6.1 million seed financing to drive a paradigm shift in electromobility through innovation. The financing, led by Vsquared Ventures and Planet A, with participation from Climate Club, will accelerate product development as the company prepares to industrialise and scale.
PULSETRAIN’s technology delivers up to 80% longer lifespan for EV batteries, the equivalent of lasting 18 years instead of 10, while reducing thermal risks. That means manufacturers can build more powerful electric vehicles at lower costs while also making them safer. In a highly competitive market, this is a top priority for manufacturers.

HOLISTIC APPROACH DRIVES EFFICIENCY
Conventional battery systems typically focus on isolated components. 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. At its core is a multilevel inverter, which enables more efficient energy utilisation through a combination of hardware and software. With just one standardised electronic system and the use of AI, the entire powertrain is integrated inside the battery housing. PULSETRAIN’s approach eliminates several commonly used components, delivering greater resource efficiency.
PULSETRAIN is also working on the implementation of a multilevel platform for AI-based real-time data analysis, opening up entirely new possibilities in fleet management, intelligent charging control, and the bi-directional integration of vehicles into the power grid.
Thomas Plaschko, co-founder of PULSETRAIN says: “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. We reduce weight, increase battery lifespan, and simultaneously lower costs. This allows manufacturers to produce lighter, more efficient, and cost-optimised vehicles, while our product’s technological openness enables them to tailor it precisely to their needs. This makes us unique in the market.”
