The switch to electromobility is posing big challenges for the
entire automotive industry. At AVL, we are ready to face these
challenges. As one of the leading development service providers
in the world, we have the necessary tools, the relevant expertise
and a global network. This strong position allows us to actively
drive technological progress in the development of electrified
vehicles. Battery development plays a crucial role here. Based
on your specific requirements, we develop tailored solutions for all vehicle types. Our goal is
always to achieve the cost objectives we have set, as well as to reduce the time-to-market. We cover
the full range of development – from lab to mass production. That’s why we are the industry’s
partner of choice for battery systems and all other technical aspects of automotive development.
Battery Competence from AVL
The battery, as an energy storage device, is a core component in all electrified powertrains – from mild
hybrid and plug-in powertrains to fully-electric systems. The battery even plays a crucial role in fuel cell vehicles.
In the areas of passenger cars, commercial vehicles, off-road vehicles and high-power systems for motor racing,
our customers are looking at an electrified future, which demands state-of-the-art battery technology.
In recent years, battery cell manufacturers have invested billions in research and development.
The same can be said of our Tier1s and OEMs. As a result, progress has been rapid. This
has allowed today’s electrified powertrain concepts to be as cost-efficient as conventionally
powered vehicles.
This also shifts the focus of development. The new challenges are finding a perfect balance
between safety, capacity and performance, with quantities in the millions. To achieve this, it is
essential to optimize production and assembly processes. At AVL, we are tackling these issues with
innovative solutions. Through continuous improvements in function and process development, hardware
validation and our simulations, we can cater to your demands.
In this focus Special, we will guide you through our full battery portfolio. From cell testing to the
development and validation of modules and packs. From industrialization and end-of-line testing to
on-site testing and motorsport applications – our range of services is extensive, innovative and tailored
to your individual needs.
