Battery electric vehicles require optimum integration of the battery into the vehicle. To complete this task efficiently, at AVL we have been developing the vehicle around the battery for quite some time now. In doing so, we are also increasing the space for energy storage.
Optimizing Costs
The battery is responsible for the bulk of the costs of the overall vehicle. To keep production costs within reason, the right propulsion system decisions need to be made very early on.
At AVL, we have been working on all major issues in the automotive industry for more than 70 years now, which enables us to provide you with comprehensive experience when it comes to the propulsion system. Our frontloading approach allows us to clarify many questions very early on using simulation, which reduces development costs.
Sustainable Focus
Guaranteeing sustainability requires implementing new technologies and materials, and integrating everything into the vehicle homogenously. Weight reduction is also a major factor when it comes to energy efficiency. With our holistic view of the vehicle, we revise and optimize existing vehicle concepts for you from all angles
In all our vehicle developments, efficiency is essential. Our services guarantee you will remain fit for the future and profitable.

- Comprehensive benchmark database with more than 500 vehicles – very detailed in the functional area
- Virtual development methodology with functional orientation
- Huge partner network with other engineering service providers
Virtualization is a key enabler for the fast transition from component-oriented to functional-oriented vehicle development.
Through our comprehensive AVL Global Vehicle Benchmarking program, you will gain in-depth understanding of the latest trends in vehicle development. Our standardized testing procedures, assessment and evaluation methodology, as well as the related metrics and KPIs provide you with a detailed technical analysis of your competitors’ vehicles.
When developing your vehicle, it is crucial to describe all functions precisely, and to balance their interaction optimally. The result is a consistent target system as a base for your optimized vehicle development.
From brake emission measurement to targeted improvement measures and low emission braking system and concept development – AVL offers comprehensive brake attribute engineering for both cars and trucks.
