Electric Dynos and Drives

A range of solutions for every use case.
E-Motor TS Performance2

At the heart of innovation and progress in the automotive sector are testbeds – crucial for electric mobility and equally essential for combustion engines, axles, powertrains and complete vehicles. At AVL, we are proud that our test benches and load systems are not only a symbol of seven decades of concentrated expertise and outstanding quality, but also embody a vision for the future. Our test stands are the foundation for the development of tomorrow's mobility: robust in design, precise in measurement and flexible in application. We offer customized solutions that meet the dynamic requirements of the modern automotive industry - from electromobility to traditional drive systems.

AVL test benches: Pioneers of electromobility with a long history. Our dynamometers have been setting standards in the automotive industry for more than seven decades. With power ranges from 10 kW to 140,000 kW, they have revolutionized the development of drive systems - from small off-road engines to the giants of the seas, the 2-stroke marine engines. Today, we are at the forefront of electromobility, pushing the boundaries of what is possible and helping to shape the future of mobility. Our test beds are at the heart of testing and perfecting electrified powertrains and their key components. They are the link between our proven past and an electrified future. Ideal for research, development, calibration and certification, our dynamometers demonstrate our commitment to driving innovation and advancing electromobility while embracing the diversity of powertrain technologies.
