Electrolyzer and Fuel cell technologies have come a long way in the last decades through multiple innovation cycles. Today we are in the middle of the transition from early technology maturity to products ready for series production. With our test solutions we are supporting our customers with proven solutions in every step of their development cycle.

Tools & Methodology
Fuel cell development is transitioning from pure research to series development. Still the innovation potential is high and represent a dynamic development field. To manage this complexity scalable & upgradable solutions are required. AVL’s test solutions are providing a flexible R&D infrastructure that can adapt and grow with changing R&D demands.

Automation & Software
The pace of innovation has been accelerating in the last years. New development methodologies are applied where systems engineering paired with virtualization are playing a major role. Engineering teams need to focus on the innovation of the product and require reliable and consistent tools through the entire development process. AVL is providing a suite of tools enabling realistic and consistent Use Case optimized results and provide solid building blocks for the next product generation.


By integrating AVL products, you can supplement your testing options as required. Thanks to our modular test system approach, we find the solution to retrofit or expand your existing test labs. We also offer compact solutions, such as our integrated test bench, as well as turnkey, containerized test bench solutions for indoor and outdoor use. If you are also planning to set up a new test field, we will be happy to take care of the turnkey realization.

AVL has placed itself as hydrogen technology leader. Our strong fuel cell competences globally are sending a signal to the industry, that we are the favored partner in this area.
- Helmut Iancu, Global Business Segment Leader
