Solutions
AVL is the only company in the world to combine expertise in powertrain design with competence in state-of-the-art measurement and testing technology.
Many instruments and test systems are already based on the AVL Open Development Platform, which considerably boosts the efficiency of the testing process. Using numerous shared software and hardware technologies, AVL test systems deliver consistent, comparable results that significantly help lower development times and costs.
This makes them an ideal, integrated tool chain for developing efficient and environmentally friendly powertrains.
Task
The increasing complexity of modern powertrains is placing greater demands on the instrumentation and test systems used during development and testing.
At the same time, more customers wish to perform development activities at the earliest possible stage.
To ensure this, when testing individual components, full systems or even entire vehicles, AVL test systems must precisely emulate reality.
Due to the interaction of several active components in the vehicle, electrified powertrains for hybrid vehicles are becoming particularly complex.
The challenge for developers today is to put all components (internal combustion engine, e-motor, battery, inverter, gears and driving modes) together into one overall harmonious system. From testing an HV battery in an emulated vehicle environment to testing a full system or an entire vehicle with an electrified powertrain, AVL offers all the testing systems required to conduct such testing.
Consistency between all the different systems must be guaranteed to keep data acquisition and management as simple and efficient as possible over all test runs.
Therefore, all AVL test systems use a common measurement and parameter database.
Portfolio
Test systems for internal combustion engines and for components
The range spans from research on single-cylinder testbeds to development of the complete combustion engine on designated testbed systems. Systems with virtual engines for model-based development complete the portfolio.
E-motor, battery and inverter testbeds
AVL offers testing systems for all components in the electrified powertrain. These are used for testing individual components (e.g. in a virtual vehicle environment) as well as full systems and entire vehicles.
Powertrain and roller testbeds
The application range of these testbeds is constantly expanding: Alongside endurance, strength, emissions, acoustic and EMC testing, they are increasingly used in drivingmaneuver- based tests and for optimizing electrified powertrains.
End-of-line testing systems
AVL end-of-line testing solutions which integrate perfectly into the production process cover aII functionality verification procedures from subsystems on the assembly line to hot and cold tests to quality audit tests.
