AVL designs and develops e-drive solutions which are tailored to your specific applications, including hybrids, e-vehicles or auxiliaries. We have over 15 years of experience under our belts in hybrid and e-vehicle development and have a profound knowledge of e-drive and actuators.

Challenges:
To reach a zero-emission mobility the electrification of vehicle powertrains will be necessary. This fact leads to new challenges for car makers and suppliers:

• How to make powertrain component more efficient to extend the range & reduce the charging time?
• How to combine compact and lightweight construction of high-power electronics under considering of passenger security?
• How to fit new technologies like SiC for e-Drive applications to extend functionality and maximize the performance?
• How to ensure safe operation in every environmental condition and for all areas of application?
• How to achieve a faster market entrance by efficient development?

AVL offers a range of services for e-drives:

• Concepts – from the simulation of electric systems to the prototype
• Series development – design, simulation, integration, testing and verification
• Component development - motors, generators, power electronics and actuators
• E-Drive Software development for electronics
• EMC design and simulation
• Testing and validation of performance, functionality and EMC
• Electrification of auxiliary systems and accessories

Solutions
We develop single e-components but also integrated e-Drives for electric powertrains on every application of use.
