Following this novel approach involves testing various battery cells under highly controlled and stable conditions. As the demand for cells with greater capacity, power, and longevity continues to rise, AVL and the University of Bayreuth have conducted in-depth research to enable more precise life cycle and performance assessments. Essentially, battery cells are surrounded by liquid-cooled conditioning plates (either at the bottom or side). By managing temperature more effectively, direct cooling supports the comprehensive testing required to meet the stringent demands of today’s electric vehicle market.

High Thermal Stability
Due to precisely defined conditions, reliable test results and consistency throughout the process is maintained.
Uniform Temperature
The consistent temperature distribution across the entire battery cell surface, creates an optimal environment for accurate evaluations.
Highest Accuracy
Unparalleled measurement precision enables ultra-high precision capacity (UHPC) assessments when combined with the AVL Battery Cell TS™, enhancing performance analysis.
Material Testing
Earlier and relevant test results are facilitated by closely mirroring the conditions of future battery modules and packs.
AVL Battery Cell TS™
A battery cell test system is a testbed that includes at least one temperature chamber suitable for testing lithium-ion batteries, a cell cycler in the appropriate current and voltage range, and an automation system. The size of the cell determines which of the various chambers with special safety equipment is required. In addition to the chamber, the cell cycler and the required current and voltage ranges must be aligned with the respective cell.

AVL’s E-Library is a mindful solution that introduces simplicity when dealing with e-testing complexity, provides a fast track to productivity, and offers reassurance that targets will be met – putting your mind at ease and allowing you to enter the market with full confidence.
Battery packs, modules and cells, fuel cells, e-motor and e-axle solutions must operate safely and reliably in any environment. This can include extreme temperatures and humidity, which cannot be reproduced on the test track or in real test scenarios on the road. This is why we developed the modular AVL Climate Chamber.
Thermal conditions and environment of Units Under Test have strong impacts on real results in driving. For this reason, the thermal simulation must be as exact as possible – which can be achieved via deployment of high performing media conditioning systems.

As a global society, we are pushing hard to achieve a transformation to net-zero-CO₂ but without loosing energy security and our current living standards. The transformation in the mobility will come at cost, which endangers affordable individual mobility in the future. Doing nothing, however, will generate even higher costs.
What kind of cars will we be driving in the future? These and other exciting questions around the topic of "Future Mobility" were addressed by more than 1,000 participants from 25 countries at the international 44th Vienna Motor Symposium. The tenor: Future automobiles will be CO2-neutral.
AVL generated 1.86 billion Euros in turnover last year – Eleven percent flows into research and development – 60 percent of the turnover is already generated by new technologies.
What are the future trends and where are where are we heading when it comes to the technological developments in the Austrian mobility sector. These and other exciting questions were addressed by Austrian Chancellor Karl Nehammer during his visit to AVL headquarters in Graz.
