Mastering Vehicle Testing Challenges on Chassis Dyno
Developing modern vehicles—whether Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV), Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEV), Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEV), or Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) platforms—requires navigating increasing complexity and pressure. AVL supports you in overcoming key challenges:
Balancing Cost, Speed and Quality in Development
Real-world testing for climate, altitude, Noise, Vibration, Harshness (NVH), Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC), and endurance nevertheless is essential—but costly and time-consuming when performed on-road. Restricted budgets lead to fewer prototypes available, therefore validating new technologies demands smarter approaches and flexible, future-ready testing environments.
Our vehicle test systems are designed to validate and test a wide range of vehicle types, from motorcycles to 6x6 heavy-duty trucks, covering various velocities, forces, power classes, and voltage and current levels for electrified vehicles. The testbeds simulate vehicle velocity and force, replicating real-world driving conditions, road data, or time-lapsed testing scenarios.
With an optimized hardware and software toolchain, our systems significantly shorten the design and validation process, allowing for faster setup and execution in a reproducible lab environment. These test systems reduce the need for on-road testing, minimizing time, risk, and costs.
Leveraging the AVL PUMA 2™ automation software platform ensures synchronized measurements and consistent data from all integrated devices. This high level of data quality, combined with precise measurement, control, and simulation capabilities, guarantees exceptional measurement precision.
All calculations and protocols, as well as measurement results, are approved by leading authorities, and our systems can be certified according to ISO 17025. As a result, testing outcomes using AVL vehicle testbeds are fully recognized and accepted by authorities, including for range or COP testing.
During this period of time, which is characterized by disruptive changes on an unimagined scale, with changes being far from complete, AVL vehicle test systems are THE reliable and proven solutions when it comes to final vehicle validation and compliance testing according to the latest legislations, from range testing up to EMC test for type approval.”
