Evalus

What Evalus does

Evalus GmbH is an Austrian engineering office for electrical engineering and an authorized training center for high-voltage (HV) safety in electric vehicles and electrified machinery, founded on January 29, 2014 by Ing. Deniz Kartal and headquartered in Berndorf, Lower Austria. The company is registered as EVALUS Arbeitssicherheit und Gesundheitsschutz GmbH and operates under authorization from the Austrian Federal Ministry of Labour, Social Affairs and Consumer Protection (BMASK) pursuant to FK-V regulation. Its core offering is structured HV safety training delivered through HV-2/2S (de-energized work) and HV-3/3S (work under voltage) qualification courses, with published per-participant pricing between €159 (refresher) and €908 (advanced initial training), covering curricula aligned to standards including EN 50110-1, DGUV 209-093, OVE R19, CEI 11-27, NEN 9140, CSA Z462, NFPA 70E, and NF C18-550.

The company's product portfolio spans four integrated service lines: HV safety training courses (initial and refresher), fee-for-service technical testing and inspection of electrical systems, charging stations, and work equipment per Austrian AMVO regulations, project-based safety and consulting engagements (risk assessments, plant approvals, workplace evaluations), and credentialing via the EVAL Card — a proprietary standardized qualification license launched in 2016 with over 5,000 cards issued by March 2023, managed through the evalcard.com digital platform launched in 2022. Evalus also founded the IONITAS international federation for EV safety (2016) and organizes the annual EV Safety Day industry event, both serving as community and standards-setting assets aligned to its training framework.

Commercially, Evalus operates a hybrid go-to-market combining direct B2B enterprise sales (serving named logos including BMW, Liebherr, Samsung SDI, ZF Friedrichshafen, Flughafen Wien, Bugatti Rimac, Iveco, Kreisel Electric, and Röchling Automotive) with a channel of authorized training partners (ATP Auto Teile Partner, Birner Akademie, Iveco Akademie, WIFI Wien, WIFI Burgenland, RWA, Subaru, Blauschild, CNA, EV Clinic) who deliver Evalus-approved courses to their customer bases. Revenue is generated primarily on a per-participant training basis supplemented by project-based consulting, inspection, and credentialing fees. The company is privately held, founder-operated, bootstrapped, and employs between 11 and 50 people, with no external investors, parent company, or M&A activity disclosed.

Revenue model

1. HV Safety Training Courses: Evalus offers structured training courses on high-voltage safety for electric vehicles and electrified equipment. Course formats include initial (Grundkurs) and refresher (Auffrischung) programs. Pricing varies by qualification level (HV-3/3S, HV-2/2S). Revenue is generated on a per-participant, per-course basis — a recurring professional services model tied to workforce certification needs.
2. Technical Testing and Inspection Services: Periodic and initial testing of electrical systems, charging stations, and work equipment in accordance with Austrian regulations (AMVO) and relevant standards. These are fee-for-service, project-based engagements typically billed per inspection or testing event.
3. Safety Consulting: Advisory services including risk assessments, risk analyses, workplace evaluations, and support for plant approval processes. Billed as consulting engagements, typically project-based or retainer arrangements with enterprise clients.
4. EVAL Card Credentialing: The evalcard.com platform manages and issues EVAL Cards — credentials for HV-qualified personnel. While the platform was launched in 2022, the revenue model around credential issuance (per-card fees, subscription for organizations, etc.) is implied but not explicitly detailed in available sources.
