Looking at traffic these days, we can see that the transformation of mobility is in full swing. Electrified vehicles are no longer a rarity in daily traffic. The task now is to make them accessible to everyone.
Vehicle and component manufacturers are therefore challenged to quickly develop existing systems further or find new solutions.

The need to reimagin.
Growing environmental awareness, the need to conserve resources, and great competitive pressure are leading to acceleration.
This acceleration is not only reflected in shorter time-to-market. Rather, it can be felt right down to the first steps of vehicle and component development. New vehicle concepts are becoming increasingly complex as the number of components and their interdependencies grow.

At the same time, the ever-increasing proportion of software in the vehicle cannot be ignored.
It is therefore only logical that this pace cannot be achieved with a purely hardware-driven development. Virtual Twins are one solution. As exact images of individual components, entire systems or even vehicles, they can be used throughout the entire development. Especially since their special feature is the ability to interact with any object inside and outside the system.


- Speed up your development by implementing simple and repeatable processes: from initial concept through system design to component construction and testing.
- Create accurate Virtual Twins, and thus reduce the number of prototypes required. Virtual Twins do not need expensive raw materials and are comparatively fast to create.
- View the entire vehicle level without a physical prototype using multiphysical and multidisciplinary simulation. Perform your tests virtually in realistic environments.
- Avoid warranty costs and image loss due to unreliability. Test your Virtual Twin extensively in the shortest possible time.

The rapid development of electrification is a challenge for the entire automotive industry. To keep pace here, new paths must be taken. The Virtual Twin is ours. Through simulation development and optimization tasks can be realized in significantly less time.

Electrified drive systems, whether purely battery electric or operated by a fuel cell, are complex systems. The size, weight, thermal and structural properties of the components influence each other and thus also the performance of the entire system. A holistic development approach is required.

The mobility revolution is in full swing. This is not just about developing new, more sustainable propulsion systems. Rather, the entire development process is in upheaval - with simulation taking the lead.
Right now, it's important to understand the challenge that each of us - OEMs and suppliers alike - face when it comes to pushing the boundaries of both our design process and our engineers. As the number of different systems grows, departments and team structures are changing. We understand that. At AVL, we go through these processes as well, because we are not just software developers. We are also engineers and therefore users. We implement our knowledge in intuitive workflows, generators, wizards, and evaluations in our software and projects.

We are your global partner in realizing the mobility of the future. A mobility characterized by its minimal impact on the environment. We offer you simulation solutions ranging from component to system analysis. As we are deeply integrated in the development process, our software solutions - tools and projects - enable you to master the challenges of virtualization.
