What sets the AVL Tech Center Steyr apart?

Our highly adaptable and flexible facility is designed to push the boundaries of commercial vehicle development.

Key highlights include: customizable testbed setups, high-performance testbeds, extensive real-world testing environment, electric vehicle focus and sustainability infrastructure.

Whether testing hydrogen technologies, optimizing high-torque systems, or refining vehicle integration, the AVL Tech Center Steyr is built to tackle the industry's most demanding challenges.

Sustainability is at the core of our Tech Center, with features that minimize environmental impact: waste heat recovery system and solar PV cells.

Spanning nearly 15,000 m², the new Tech Center in Steyr is multifunctional and purpose-built to push the limits of modern vehicle development and testing.

Testbed 1: Powertrain and Vehicle

4-Dyno Testbed (Multi-Configuration)

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.

Testbed 1 and 2: Large Vehicle Testing

Large Vehicle Testing

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

2-Dyno Testbed

This testbed is designed for functional testing of transmissions and e-axles. DC supply is available up to 800 kW for electrified components. In the next time it will be used for brake emission testing for heavy duty EURO 7 legislation for trucks and busses. The required components and the procedure for such brake emissions measurements will be developed in order to provide testbeds but also the measurement services to our customers.

Testbed 5: Transmission and E-Axle

2-Dyno Testbed

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 5

Testbed 6: Vehicle Build, Commissioning, and Hot Cell

Vehicle Testing

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 cell can be used as a "hot cell" for ambient temperatures up to 45 °C.
