Commercial Vehicles - On Road
AVL Approach
Based on our long history of technology leadership for commercial powertrains, AVL has the capability to define and develop any component of modern powertrains from concept to production and has developed tools and methodologies to align partially contradictive requirements, achieving:
- Close to zero emissions with low fuel consumption
- Enhanced powertrain durability despite increased complexity
- Enhanced powertrain reliability considering global production and sourcing of components
- Products for global markets with high degree of commonality, while achieving diverse emission and application requirements
- Appropriate powertrain cost while introducing new technologies for electrification

References
Due to the strong focus on the development of commercial powertrains, AVL has set trends in the last few years with the development of more than twenty heavy-duty engines and powertrains, as well as more than thirty in the medium and light-duty class.
Medium and light duty powertrains:
- Several developments of engines and powertrains from clean sheet to series production for different applications and worldwide distribution
- Base engine, performance and emissions as well as aftertreatment technologies optimizing commonalities and different local market requirements
- Management of a worldwide supplier base
Heavy duty powertrains:
- Development of a majority of the new heavy-duty engine families, partly from clean sheet to series production
- Design for high performance and lowest emission engines
New commercial powertrain technologies:
- Evaluation and development of different hybrid applications for truck and bus applications including downsizing for commercial vehicles
- Development of powertrain solutions for advanced efficiency (e.g. waste heat recovery)
- Different gas and dual fuel concepts
