Hybrid Testing Solutions
The AVL Hybrid Testing Solutions provide successful stable and proven testing tools, methods and services especially designed for hybrid vehicles.
Hybrid vehicles are characterized by a combination of mechanical, electrical and control components. The complexity of this mechatronic system requires methods and tools for a successful development of new hybrid vehicle concepts. These advanced methods and tools are delivered by the AVL product groups Hybrid Development Platform (HDP) based on AVL InMotion™ and Battery Testing Systems (BTS).
The core innovation of the Hybrid Development Platform based on AVL InMotion™ is the ability to integrate electrical control units into the loop of the real hybrid components on all variations of AVL performance test beds under operational conditions, thereby providing more effective and realistic testing scenarios.
The AVL Battery Testing Systems offer tools for battery testing of all kinds of battery technologies (Lead-Acid, NiMH, Li-Ion), supercaps and fuel cells for characterization on cell, module and pack level (battery test bed (BTS-BT)). The simulation of energy storage systems is realized by embedded and parametrizable real-time models (battery simulator (BTS-BS)).

AVL ApproachAVL´s approach is to integrate and optimize powertrain components by combining know-how in the areas of Powertrain Engineering, Advanced Simulation Technologies and Instrumentation and Test Systems.
In the last 15 years, AVL has extended its 50 years experience in development of powertrains based on internal combustion engines by particular know-how and methods for the development of Hybrid powertrains. Hybrid specific component know-how on electric motors, power electronics and batteries is available within the AVL group.
Integrating the different components to a system is a major strength of AVL´s powertrain development. AVL supports the entire development process and supplies the needed simulation tools as well as the proper instruments and test systems. |
