Single Cylinder Research Engines & Compact Test Bed - Testing Solutions for Engines

Measure and Control

Single Cylinder Research Engines & Compact Test Bed

For development of engines, components, alternative fuels and lubes; with transparent access into the combustion chamber. Compact test bed solution and peripherals.

AVL Approach

Working with our single cylinder research engines offers the significant advantage that the prospects of success are tested under realistic engine conditions long before new concepts are applied to the full engine.
