vehicle engineering > The goal of the optimization efforts is an affordable vehicle with low CO2 emissions that is still attractive to customers on account of its driving features. AFFORDABLE CO2 REDUCTION WITH BALANCED DRIVING PLEASURE Measures to reduce CO2 emissions are often believed to come at the expense of driving enjoyment and the agility that drivers expect from their vehicles. This conflict of objectives, however, is resolved by regarding the vehicle in its entirety. For this to be achieved, a substantial number of vehicle attributes need to be optimized in parallel, starting with the powertrain. AVL offers its customers an interlinked development solution, permitting the simulation and objective assessment of several driving attributes at the same time using AVL DRIVE and VSM. By employing these tools, an ideal balance is achieved very efficiently between reduced CO2 emissions and an enjoyable driving experience. 1 0 F O C U S
