Bringing the future to the past

Modern capability. Original soul.

Made in Norway

Approach

Engineering principles

Classic platforms deserve modern reliability. Same engineering discipline we apply to electronics proven in harsh field and industrial environments.

Capability built in

We like features—and we design products to support as much functionality as the hardware reasonably can.

  • Capability and headroom added up front, not held back for a future revision
  • Features not ready at launch can be switched on later through software and firmware updates

Buy once with room to grow—not a bare minimum that leaves capability on the table.

A decade in harsh environments

More than ten years designing, building, and servicing electronics for oil and gas and other demanding field work.

  • Design and build of electronics and communication systems
  • Service and repair of circuits and circuit boards
  • Work proven through vibration, heat, cold, moisture, and continuous operation

We go the extra mile to ensure quality.

Reliability over margin

Component selection prioritises long-term performance and stability. We do not cut BOM cost at the expense of durability—we build every product the way we would if it were going into our own vehicles.

  • Higher-spec components, better connectors, and extra capability where it counts
  • Features and headroom added because they make the product better—not because a minimum spec required them

We lean toward overkill on purpose. Why run at the limit when you can get it right the first time?

Validation before release

Every design passes harsh qualification before we tool for production or ship anything. Environmental testing, dyno work, and demo-fleet trials are the baseline—not every field condition can be simulated, but we stack these steps deliberately.

  • Partner environmental and vibration qualification before production starts
  • Dyno validation and real road miles on the demo fleet
  • Selected pilot users where installs and use cases exceed what the lab can model

We release when the hardware has earned confidence—not when the calendar runs out.

Verification

Testing & validation capabilities

A structured path from bench stress through partner environmental qualification, dyno work, and road miles—each step matched to what the product needs before release.

Environmental qualification

Active

Climate and vibration testing with Advanced Electronics AS—sine, random, and shock profiles on professional chamber and shaker systems.

In-house stress jigs

Active

Accelerated electrical and thermal stress on the bench before units enter environmental or road validation.

Engine dyno validation

In Progress

Superflow SF-902S installation for HVAL™ calibration and powertrain development on multiple 7.3 engines.

Superflow SF-902S

Modern, Classic & E-Series

Active

Two OBS F-250 builds—Modern and Classic—plus an E-350 where van packaging and install paths need their own proof, separate from the pickups.

Pilot users

Active

Selected integrators exercise pre-release hardware in real installations and feed findings back into firmware and design.

Partner facility

Environmental & mechanical testing

We work with Advanced Electronics AS to ensure the performance and reliability of our products—one of the most capable environmental test facilities in Norway, with professional climate chambers and a high-force LDS shaker with slip table.

Process

From design to deployment

In-house development from schematic through demo-fleet validation—each step uses distinct documentation, not recycled stock photos.

DolphinDrive PCB — in-house electronics design and prototype

Design & prototype

Schematic and PCB development in-house, with revisions informed by installation constraints and measured results.

Electronics assembly and rework bench with vehicle modules and test equipment

Assembly & rework

Controlled hand assembly and microscope inspection. Small production runs allow consistent quality review.

Bench validation setup with injector test fixtures and electronics on pegboard

Dyno & bench validation

Critical engine electronics—including HVAL™—are exercised on our Superflow SF-902S dyno with multiple 7.3 engines before road deployment.

Modern, Classic & E-Series

Modern and Classic F-250s for pickup development; the E-350 for hardware that has to fit Econoline and E-Series vans on the road we actually drive.

  • Share feature ideas, install challenges, and module concepts—we read every submission
  • Community and partner feedback shapes what we build next on the OBS Link roadmap
  • Built with input from owners and installers who run these trucks in real conditions
  • Suggestions welcome throughout development—not just before the first release
  • Designed, built, and supported in Norway
