Project Management

Our team has extensive experience in Program and Project Management in both Military and Commercial programs.  We routinely seamlessly integrate our in-house multifunctional teams into our customers' and subcontractors' teams. BPTi will adapt to any customers' program management style.


Design Engineering

Design Engineering spans Research through Detailed Design principally of Mechanical, Hydraulic and Control Systems. BPTi design teams have integrated and developed many products and systems; an example being our Parallel Hybrid Electric Truck Transmission designed by BPTi and integrated with our customer's electric motors and controls.  Drawings are furnished on Pro-E and AutoCad.  BPTi's vast experience with manufacturing & producibility smoothes the transition to production and aids our ability to execute on short cycle programs.. 


Analysis, Modeling & Simulation

BPTi offers solid modeling, performance simulation, life cycle, and fatigue analysis on all our designs.  In addition, Pro-E Mechanica and Mechanisms are used for in-house structural and motion analyses, while very complex analyses are directed by BPTi to skilled subcontractors for execution.


Product Development & Prototyping

Our specialty is being able to deliver on short-cycle programs.  BPTi has refined many design and prototyping techniques to minimize design, development and prototype cycle time.  In addition, BPTi has extensive expertise with small or large, simple or complex, aluminum, magnesium, iron or steel castings and a preferred network of casting and machining suppliers.


Production & Assembly

Procurement, assembly and test of complex prototype or production systems are no problem for BPTi.  BPTi has easily   manufactured up to 1000 hybrid bus transmissions per year already. Our manufacturing engineers are experts in Manufacturing Process Development, Facility Layout and Process Tooling.


Test & Evaluation

BPTi has extensive experience with component, assembly and system testing in all types of environments and simulated operating conditions especially related to vehicles, powertrains, and drive systems. BPTi is expert at developing test plans and procedures, fixtures and facilities as well as data instrumentation, collection, evaluation and analysis.


Failure Analysis

While no one likes to fail, we often learn the most from  'failures'.  BPTi has the ability to conduct metallurgical assessments, failure modes and root cause analysis and the capability to offer corrective action, design upgrades and/or enhancements.
