As the automotive industry transitions from internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles to partially electrified and fully electric propulsion systems, AVL vehicle test systems are designed to accommodate all current and future configurations. From standard 2WD to 4WD, individual-wheel drives, and hybrid setups that integrate ICE with battery or fuel cell powertrains, our solutions cover the full spectrum of vehicle technologies.
With electric drives and high-voltage components becoming the norm, ensuring safety and meeting dynamic performance requirements are critical. AVL test systems are engineered to evaluate and optimize mechanical, electrical, and high-voltage subsystems across various test environments, including climatic, NVH, and EMC chambers, helping customers stay ahead in a rapidly evolving automotive landscape.
Our vehicle test systems are designed to validate and test a wide range of vehicle types, from motorcycles to 6x6 heavy-duty trucks, covering various velocities, forces, power classes, and voltage and current levels for electrified vehicles. The testbeds simulate vehicle velocity and force, replicating real-world driving conditions, road data, or time-lapsed testing scenarios. With an optimized hardware and software toolchain, our systems significantly shorten the design and validation process, allowing for faster setup and execution in a reproducible lab environment. These test systems reduce the need for on-road testing, minimizing time, risk, and costs.
Leveraging the AVL PUMA 2™ automation software platform ensures synchronized measurements and consistent data from all integrated devices. This high level of data quality, combined with precise measurement, control, and simulation capabilities, guarantees exceptional measurement precision. Furthermore, all calculations and protocols, as well as measurement results, are approved by leading authorities, and our systems can be certified according to ISO 17025. As a result, testing outcomes using AVL vehicle testbeds are fully recognized and accepted by authorities, including for range or COP testing.
Investment in new hardware is costly and also time-consuming. It is therefore often worthwhile to evaluate existing systems and devices for lifetime extension. This is where our service offer comes into play. Chassis Dyno experts visit your company and prepare a feasibility study, on the basis of which you can decide whether modernizing existing systems might be more worthwhile than investing in new hardware. Even just by replacing individual components of the electronics or control system, we can turn your Chassis Dyno Senior into a state-of-the-art testbed for maximum measurement accuracy and legal compliance. → Learn more
During this period of time, which is characterized by disruptive changes on an unimagined scale, with changes being far from complete, AVL vehicle test systems are THE reliable and proven solutions when it comes to final vehicle validation and compliance testing according to the latest legislations, from range testing up to EMC test for type approval.”
-- Roland von Gavel, Head of Business Development, AVL Zöllner GmbH
At AVL, we have test systems to validate propulsion systems and vehicles in a virtual environment. To evaluate and optimize mechanical, electrical, and high-voltage electrical sub-systems, customers need dedicated test systems for the final vehicle in any test environment.
Typical examples are mileage accumulation testing, to ensure specific lifetime targets defined by either legislative authorities or by development targets, performance evaluation, optimization of consumption, emissions testing, electrical driving range, exposure and testing in harsh climatic or electromagnetic environmental conditions, and type approval.
