Powertrain Controls

Controls are a key characteristic to differentiate the behavior of the powertrain in regards to vehicle performance, emissions, robustness of diagnostic and brand style (Brand DNA). AVL can deliver independent and modular powertrain software control solutions from prototype through to production to meet individual customer demands.

AVL E-Drive Solutions

AVL designs and develops e-drive solutions which are tailored to your specific applications, including hybrids, e-vehicles or auxiliaries. We have over 15 years of experience under our belts in hybrid and e-vehicle development and have a profound knowledge of e-drive and actuators. Challenges: To reach a zero-emission mobility the electrification of vehicle powertrains will be necessary. This fact leads to new challenges for car makers and suppliers: How to make powertrain component more efficient to extend the range & reduce the charging time? How to combine compact and lightweight constru ...

AVL Transmission Solutions

Due to the vast amount of different transmission concepts on the market, it is necessary to consider the whole powertrain as one system. Extensive engineering experience and skills drive AVL's advanced solutions combined with efficient testing and simulation tools. Well-known manufacturers trust in AVL's individual, independent and highly innovative solutions in the area of: Passenger Car Powertrains Commercial Powertrains (on-road) Off-Road-Powertrains

Vehicle development

The development of modern vehicles with extremely complex powertrain concepts puts high requirements on new development and validation methods with the associated tools. In order to save costs and reduce development times, road tests are increasingly being transferred to vehicle testbeds and replaced by simulation. Transferability and a balance between the individual test environments (off-line simulation, hardware-in-the-loop, component testbed, vehicle testbed, road, etc.) must be guaranteed.

Construction Equipment

The construction equipment market is one of the most demanding but also exciting markets. Highest requirements and customer expectation in respect to robustness, reliability, initial costs, functionality, efficiency and comfort are driving factors. AVL supports its customers in all the phases of the product life cycle to develop a product that will fully satisfy their customers and also end user. Together we will be able to develop the future. AVL supports the life cylce of the product beginning with: Marketstudies and Benchmarks - those lead to the Specification of the Concept Studies and ...

Testing Focus

Real Driving Emissions (RDE)

The upcoming EU6d Emission Regulation will implement Real Driving Emissions as an additional type approval requirement within the
2017 - 2020 timeframe.

The Real Driving Emissions (RDE) legislation is adding the road as a new environment for emission testing and certification. Compared to current test environments, which are designed and optimized for perfect reproducibility and a removal of external influences, driving a vehicle on the road under "real-life" conditions will never be 100% reproducible. The influence of the road profile, the ambient conditions and the traffic situation as well as the behavior of the driver will significantly influence the results. One-to-one comparison of test results will not be possible; instead it is necessary to handle and evaluate the test data using statistical methods. The RDE legislation will require engines to be clean under all operating conditions. This will impose significant challenges on the design and the calibration of engines. Here RDE can become a door opener for alternative technologies as well as for alternative development processes.
