AVL SHED systems cover a wide range of applications and uses for R&D testing or for certification purposes. In addition to onboard refueling vapor recovery (ORVR) vehicle testing and running loss testing, tests for the vehicle interior such as volatile organic compound (VOC) or vehicle interior air quality (VIAQ) measurement can also be performed.
The available variants allow the system to be optimally matched to the desired unit under test - from individual components to complete vehicle testing.
Component manufacturers as well as OEMs, and international regulatory bodies use AVL SHED for the various evaporative emissions tests.

AVL SHED systems are available in various configurations and sizes to ensure optimal adaption to the respective UUT. From the testing of individual components, tank systems, motorcycles, or passender cars up until the testinf of transporters and small trucks, the suitable SHED system is available in our portfolio. Thus, they cover a wide range of applications and test scenarios.
