Testbed 1: Powertrain and Vehicle
This powerful and flexible 4-dyno testbed is designed for heavy-duty components (transmissions, axles and e-axles) and complete vehicles. Conventional, hybrid, electric, fuel-cell powertrains and vehicles can be tested, enabling simulation of real-world operating conditions. Additional reduction transmissions allows max. load/torque application. DC supply is available up to 800 kW for electrified components. Testcell 1 and Testcell 2 can be connected by a double leaf door to accommodate large vehicles. This ensures that even oversized vehicles up to a length of 14 m can be tested.
Testbed 2: Transmission and E-Axle
This testbed is designed for functional testing of transmissions and e-axles. DC supply is available up to 800 kW for electrified components. Additionally, the testbed is already being used for brake emission testing in accordance with the upcoming Euro 7 legislation for heavy-duty trucks and buses. The necessary components and procedures for these brake emission measurements have been developed to provide both testbeds and measurement services to our customers.
Testbed 3: Transmission and E-Axle
This powerful 2-dyno testbed is designed for testing of heavy-duty transmissions and e-axles regarding performance, efficiency, and durability. DC supply is available up to 800 kW for electrified components. Additional reduction transmissions allows max. load/torque application.
Testbed 4: Transmission, Axle, and E-Axle
This 3-dyno testbed is a high-performance system designed for testing transmissions, axles, and e-axles. DC supply is available up to 800 kW for electrified components. Additional reduction transmissions allows max. load/torque application up to 125 kNm per wheel/wheel-hub.
Testbed 5: Transmission and E-Axle
This powerful 2-dyno testbed is designed for testing of transmissions and e-axles regarding performance, efficiency, and durability. DC supply is available up to 800 kW for electrified components. Additional reduction transmissions allows speed and torque application in a wide range (10,000 rpm / 25,000 Nm).
Testbed 6: Vehicle Build, Commissioning, and Hot Cell
This testbed is designed for prototype vehicle build and commissioning, especially for battery electric and fuel cell vehicles with hydrogen technology. It is equipped with hydrogen and DC supply to handle battery electric, and hydrogen-powered systems but as well with an exhaust gas system for conventional vehicles. Additionally, the test cell can be used as a "hot cell" for ambient temperatures up to 45 °C.
With the new AVL Tech Center in Steyr, we are setting new standards for innovative and sustainable vehicle and drivetrain solutions. State-of-the-art infrastructure, flexible testing and real-world conditions make it a key milestone on the path to climate-neutral mobility.
