This is because, given the theoretically infinite amount of driving situations, the conventional development methodology, which is primarily based on pre-defined test cycles, is reaching its limits. In future, development must take into account a variety of climatic conditions and driving situations, as well as different driver types. AVL helps its customers to master this complex task by offering a broad scope of innovative products and services. The mobile measuring system M.O.V.E iS permits in-vehicle emission measurements with maximum precision. Along with geographic and vehicle-specific data, the measured values then become available for development on the chassis dyno, engine and powertrain testbed. With its virtual testbed XIL.STATION, AVL additionally provides a cutting-edge lab environment that allows model-based engine- and exhaust gas aftertreatment development with superior efficiency. With these AVL solutions, we support our customers to meet the challenges posed by the Real Driving Emissions legislation in the best way possible.
