Image_Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Test Center

AVL is greatly expanding its global test infrastructure for fuel cell and hydrogen technology. The new center at the company’s headquarters in Graz has a maximum capacity of 20 high-performance testbeds, making it one of the largest and most advanced test sites for fuel cells and electrolysis systems in the world. With this investment, AVL strengthens its role as a pioneer for the extensive development of fuel cells as well as innovative technologies for hydrogen production.

The opening of the Battery Innovation Center marks the addition of an important future platform to AVL’s portfolio. The 1,600-m² facility is incorporated in the company’s headquarters in Graz and supports all AVL’s expertise in innovative battery concepts around the world. In launching the new center, the engineering service provider is applying the principle and expanding the scope of simultaneous engineering.

 Battery Innovation Center

These days, vehicles are very much software-defined products. Their development and validation is highly complex. This requires a level of efficiency that cannot be achieved with hardware-oriented development – but can be with simulation solutions.
