Transmission Engineering & Systems IntegrationMarket RequirementsThe increasing power and torque of today’s engines require a corresponding transmission. Furthermore higher efficiency, better acoustic performance, and lower weight are demanded – a challenge developing and optimizing the individual components of a transmission. The trend towards automatic shifting and the targets for increased fuel efficiency lead to multiple transmission types.
For all of them spontaneity and comfort or shift quality at the same time is a must. To ensure to meet these and further targets there is a strong need for system integration service covering transmission and engine simultaneously. The task is to meet the needs of as many vehicles as possible for as many different markets as possible. Yet, the process must still leave manufacturers with the flexibility to individualize engine and transmission matches when a particular market demands it.
AVL ApproachAVL offers transmission component development and optimization as well as complete system solutions for design and development of power train systems. Our engineering solutions extend over the entire development cycle, from computational simulation and testing, up to the final production of individual components, subsystems, and powertrains. Using the latest development tools, every component is built and tested to meet each customer’s individual product needs.
As a system integrator, AVL understands the efficiencies that can be realized during the simulation, development, calibration, testing, and final production of a powertrain. AVL uses its product development experience, global network, and a comprehensive understanding of the automotive marketplace to provide optimal solutions for transmissions and powertrains.
AVL’s approach puts an emphasis on the virtual world for the definition of the fundamental system properties for a highly efficient development process embedded in a strong project management.
