The demand for testing is highly dynamic, often requiring the urgent expansion of test capacity to meet product development deadlines and market release dates. However, access to capital represents a significant limiting factor. There is a growing reluctance among companies to commit substantial financial resources to long-term investments, particularly when there is no immediate return on investment.
Traditional brick-and-mortar test facilities require extensive time for planning, approval, and construction. The process can take several years, from identifying the need for additional capacity to the point of facility operation. This delay not only extends the time to market but also ties up capital, which limits a company's financial flexibility and responsiveness to market changes.
Extensive Approval Process
Getting the necessary approval for starting construction of new brick-and-mortar test facilities takes a long time.
Low Degree of Parallelization
While the approval process is running, many of the other activities cannot start, increasing the project time.
Commission-ing First at the End
With all coming together first at the construction site, the commissioning can first happen at the end of the project – with potential unwanted surprises.
Low Flexibility to Add Further Test Capacity
Additional space must be reserved in the facility hosting the test system if a later extension is desired.
Challenging Coordination of Suppliers
Building up a new test facility requires coordination of all involved suppliers, requiring experienced test facility project managers.
Lack of Mobility
A conventional test facility is stationary and cannot be moved to another location if later necessary.
Our test systems are available in tech center modules that are quickly up and running. The solution consists of a fully integrated test system in a containerized format. The module can operate independently to a high degree, only requiring a flat surface to be located on and the necessary external power and media connections.
Through standardization, supply chain management and preemptive engineering efforts, we have significantly reduced the time from order to start of operation at the customer site. This provides our customers with optimal flexibility to respond to changing needs and limits their capital commitment.

At AVL, we develop e-axle solutions that can be easily installed without impacting the productivity of your engineering facility.
With the shift towards electrification comes a high demand for test systems that focus solely on e-axles. These test systems must cover the requirements and test standards for E-Motor, inverter and transmission.
For battery (module/pack) testing, we offer complete test systems, stand-alone equipment, or even entire turnkey test labs.
We offer complete test systems for the testing of modules/packs. Learn more about which hard- and software products are included in our test systems.
AVL has a wide portfolio consisting of dedicated e-motor test systems, software, tools, and processes to test and validate these modern e-drive systems in shortest time and with highest quality standards.
The AVL Brake Wear Testing Solution is an all-in-one testing solution for the measurement of particle mass and number concentration of braking systems using a high-end brake dynamometer.
In the search for green and sustainable mobility, AVL has addressed the challenges of developing and validating automotive fuel cell systems – from a single cell up to complete systems for various applications.
