Focus 2013 1 E

avl’s global network Testing and Development Support around the World Focus spoke to Martin Panzitt, AVL’s Director of International Tech Center Management for Powertrain Engineering and Wilhelm Graupner, AVL’s Director for Testfield Efficiency. They told us how AVL’s global network provides a unique proposition to OEMs to meet local and global demands for both development and testing, especially as they expand into new markets such as those in Asia. There are clearly many synergies between testing and development, 1 0 F o c u s and the fact that AVL has built up a global network that is expert in both areas means that OEMs can benefit from its expertise in each as well as the cross- pollination that inevitably occurs between the two. Panzitt describes how AVL has spent the last couple of decades building up this global network so that it is well equipped to help OEMs with a variety of challenges. “It has been a lot of hard work building up the network but in the last few years we have been able to harvest the advantages we have built up. The maturity of our global reach has required a great deal of investment and training – and that is our major advantage over our competitors.”
