Highlights
Everything that excels at a glance: AVL highlights you shouldn't miss.
WEBINAR - The physical and chemical processes within the combustion engine chamber are challenging researchers. Due to ever more stringent legislation, minor details play a major role, and understanding sensor behaviour is becoming critical: knowing the sensor itself is essential for accuracy and for interpreting results.
WEBINAR - The core of our solution to handle module tests as well as the analysis of entire powertrains in a lab, on test beds, chassis dynos and even on the road, is a diagnostics platform system: small, dedicated sensor – recorder units combine into multichannel recorders and data interfaces.
