2 1 F o c u s If the measured values lie within the tolerance, a certificate is issued approving the accuracy. In case of deviation an adjustment (UN-ECE R83 calibration) is required. As part of the calibration services the AVL Particle Counter undergoes maintenance procedures and will be automatically updated to the latest technology standard - at no extra costs for the customer. On-Board Emision Meas urement Primarily due to the legislation regarding the “in-use conformity” for commercial vehicles, in force in the US since 2007, the market sees a great demand for mobile emission testing devices. 2013 this legislation will also come into force in Europe for heavy duty applications. AVL offers with the M.O.V.E. PEMS series (Portable Emission Measurement System), which is part of the M.O.V.E platform for portable measurement technology, a modern system for gaseous emission and particle mass measurement, providing customers with highly accurate results. In addition, the devices are characterized by low power consumption and are “built for the road”. Another great benefit is the consistency between all AVL emission test systems, which substantially simplifies the development process and consequently contributes significantly to an improved efficiency. Excellent Emision Expertise ”With the active participation of the AVL emission experts in many boards in which the methods for emission measurement are adopted, AVL is intensely involved already in the early legislation phase - so we know exactly what the legislators are planning worldwide,” explains Kurt Engeljehringer. ”In addition to this legislative knowledge we also have detailed knowhow of current and upcoming technologies due to our own engine and powertrain development within AVL. This combined knowledge of AVL – which is globally unique – is reflected in our measurement systems. Our customers use the systems a decade or more – for this long period of time a reliable partner is needed, who knows about all future developments and can provide longterm support. AVL measurement devices guarantee a secure investment for the future. This security of investment is also emphasized by the managing director of AVL ETS Uwe Krummenöhler: ”Due to our own engine and powertrain development within AVL, we can identify technology trends in advance and can derive the impacts on the necessary developing tools. This enables us to provide improved measurement devices already in a very early stage and consequently offer our customers a competitive advantage and an early start with their product development. AVL emission measurement systems can provide future technologies already today. Our customers can rely on the highest security of investment and on a partner who proactively and reliably accompanies their projects.“ < > Picture right: The AVL M.O.V.E PEMS series is a modern portable system for on-board emission measurement Picture bottom left: The common AVL iGEM software allows easy system integration and provides an intuitive user interface.
