• Reduced prototype vehicle usage • Reduced calibration time • No need for vehicle prototype • Vehicle variant simulation • Cheaper test environment • No need for powertrain Road Powertrain Testbed / 11 procedures to achieve the development goal. AVL has a solid track record in helping to make this happen for our customers. This support ranges from analyzing the environment to working out a complete optimized process, to implementing your test field. Many of the world’s top OEM’s and Tier 1 suppliers already trust AVL and have sustainably improved their performance. THE FUTURE OF POWERTRAIN DEVELOPMENT Leading powertrain experts agree that the frontloading of development tasks and the networking of development environments offers huge potential for increasing development efficiency. With AVL’s tried and tested model-based development approach you are able to seamlessly connect simulation with the physical world to speed up development. Models developed with AVL CRUISE to predict a future vehicles performance can be directly used and refined with a real powertrain on an AVL PUMA testbed. This validated model of a lead variant can then be used again in the virtual world to start implementing base calibrations with AVL CAMEO™ for new and upcoming variants. This helps to dramatically speed up iterations in the development cycle. By contrast, AVL is working hard to enable you to shift development tasks from vehicle to testbed to simulation: to do emission certification on a powertrain testbed – while the real vehicle body is still under development; to shift driveability development work from the road to the chassis dyno, reduce cost, increase development speed and shorten time-to-market. All this is reality today. And it is called AVL Active Frontloading. When you are developing the powertrain of the future, we are certain you can do it more efficiently with AVL. HOW TO REDUCE COSTS OF CALIBRATION Calibration costs • Use of available data for pre-calibration of functions (e.g. OBD, TCU models) Chassis Dyno HIL SIL Shifting tasks from road to rig to simulation is the key to development efficiency. AVL can provide profound expertise and a complete toolchain.
