Handling Complexity and Speed mance can be directly used and refined with a real powertrain on an AVL PUMA Open™ 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. 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 a reality today, it is called AVL Active Frontloading. When developing the powertrain of the future, we are certain you can do it more efficiently with AVL. COMPLEX WORLD – SIMPLE QUESTION The automotive industry is experiencing dramatic changes. Tectonic shifts of markets, tougher legislative requirements and highly varying consumer demands have created unprecedented challenges to automobile manufacturers. Serving new regions and covering every market niche has become a matter of survival. With this increasing number of variants and today’s complex powertrains, it is becoming more difficult to meet the development targets of quality, cost and time. Looking at this challenge, powertrain engineers must consider one key question: How can I find the ideal combination of tools, processes and methodologies that best support my development work? THE FUTURE OF POWERTRAIN DEVELOPMENT Leading powertrain experts agree that the frontloading of development tasks and the networking of development environments offer 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 vehicle’s perfor- / 10
