Engine testing has a legacy of more than 70 years at AVL. This broad expertise has been demonstrated in thousands of engine testbed installations. On top of that, our propulsion system engineering team operates ICE and hybrid testbeds in tech centers around the world. Which is why our engine testing technology is continuously advanced by dedicated in-house expertise.
Our portfolio of engine test systems is available for a wide range of research and development tasks.
These include:
- Hardware verification
- System integration incl. hybrid components
- ECU / HCU calibration
- Hybrid operating strategy implementation
- Fuel consumption optimization
- Electric charge determination
- Steady state and dynamic duty tests
- Engine response optimization
- Exhaust emissions development and homologation
With advanced engine and hybrid testing technology, AVL is continuously striving to support customers with their development challenges of today and the future.”

Ensuring the efficient and professional calibration of AVL fuel consumption measurement devices according to ISO 17025.
Fuel flow meter for close-to-engine applications and the testing of components, engine, and vehicles.
Visualize the combustion process with our optical measurement equipment integrated into the AVL X-ion data acquisition platform.
AVL EPOS™ is our solution to these challenges. It allows you to manage costs, availability, and performance and make the most of your investment.
New powertrain technologies require a higher data throughput rate in real time. AVL FEM 4™ enables you to measure all raw data relevant for the characterization of the unit-under-test.
Engine tests are now even expanding to vehicle testing on the road (RDE). AVL has developed a new optical encoder 366C that is much smaller, lighter and has less inertia than its predecessor.
Portable on-board soot and PM measurement device.
The AVL Opacimeter is a highly dynamic partial-flow measuring instrument for the continuous measurement of exhaust gas opacity (in particular from diesel engines).
Partial flow dilution system for regulatory particulate matter (PM) measurement of internal combustion- and H2-ICE engines.
The AVL Smoke Meter is designed to automatically measure soot content in the exhaust gas of combustion engines. The device meets the requirements of ISO 10054 and ISO 8178-3.
The AVL Particle Counter (APC) product family measures the concentration of solid particles even under severe conditions. The “x” in the name “xApp” refers to the multiple number of extreme applications.
The new standard for transient soot measurement in the exhaust gas of combustion engines as emission legislation and market requirements become more demanding.
Efficient testbed utilization is ensured by continuous improvements suggested by our in-house engineers. Our expert teams from Powertrain Engineering and Test System development are working closely together at all times. Effective and efficient development work is ensured by the holistic and seamlessly integrated our product portfolio, in which AVL hybrid and engine test systems play an important role. We support development from initial concept ideas to production. Individual development steps are integrated and connected via consistent development methodology tools.
In addition, our competent test application support is available to all our customers. Engineers guide our customers globally with firsthand expertise in tackling complex development tasks and challenges. The interaction of complex test system configurations can be verified prior to delivery using our advanced in-house system integration test environments (test center) to assure a right-first-time approach. Highly realistic test conditions are applied in combination with AVL simulation models (e.g. engines, dynos, measuring devices, etc.).
AVL’s comprehensive worldwide network of experts allows best customer vicinity, ensuring consistent and connecting testing fields globally. Wherever your R&D challenges take you, we are always close at hand, ready to provide the service you need.
