The challenges, which this poses to developers of vehicles and drive systems, are multifaceted. On the one hand OEMs must be able to master the sheer diversity of combinations and, consequently, their efficient and cost-saving development. On the other hand they have to achieve optimum efficiency, environmental acceptability and agility in terms of an attractive driving experience for every single variant. Drawing on decades of experience in the field of drive system development, AVL offers innovative solutions that can help OEMs to respond to these particular challenges with effectiveness and efficiency. AVL provides support in optimizing the design and development of combustion engines and electric motors and assistance in broadening the power spectrum of engine families, thereby allowing automotive manufacturers to optimally adapt themselves to the demands of a global market. Based on our close collaboration with OEMs and suppliers and our deep understanding of current and future challenges, we will continue to serve our customers by facilitating the successful implementation of drive systems which are more efficient and attractive than ever before.
