Diesel and Gas Engine Design and DevelopmentBest Performance for your EngineCustomer RequirementsSuccessful engine builders aim to have the best performing engine on the market in the shortest time at the most competitive price and with a minimum of investment.
The engineering effort to design a new engine can involve up to 150 thousand man hours. This effort is concentrated into less than three years. At the same time people are needed for planning, production engineering, procurement, marketing and other activities.
Some manufacturers produce a new engine every 5 years, others every 20 years. It is difficult to maintain an experienced and motivated team during the periods in between.

AVL ApproachAVL's approach provides a flexible extension to our clients' resources and helps to overcome bottlenecks in these areas . Thanks to our wide ranging development experience we can provide support from single tasks to complete development of a new large engine – from the first sketch to the end product. On average, we perform such a project every two years.
Confidentiality is mandatory in our co-operation with customers, without this, our continued growth would not be possible.
We work closely with the engine builder throughout the whole development process. Our support
starts at the initial planning and follows right through the design and development up to the support of placing the first production engines in the field.
AVL’s world-wide network of technical centres and the flexibility of AVL’s expert teams to work at our client’s site, guarantees the highest quality of development results within the shortest time
Extensive simulation throughout the whole development process and a close collaboration with our customers reduces overall development time and ensures that prototype validation is right on target. |
