Graz, Austria, January 2022: The new EVP Engineering and Technology Powertrain Systems, Mario Brunner's full title, has already been successfully working for AVL for more than 18 years. After holding various positions, including Head of Mechanical Simulation, he moved to Transmission Development in 2014 and led the System, Software, Simulation and Testing Teams. In 2016, he took over as Head of Global Transmission Development with a focus on electrification. Most recently, Brunner was responsible for Powertrain Electrification and Systems Engineering as a Senior Chief Engineer.

We are already a reliable partner for our customers in all aspects of the electrified powertrain. I see new areas of focus in the field of driverless assistance systems ADAS/AD and electrification as well as hybridization E/E. We also plan to deliver added value in the area of holistic vehicle development together with completely new approaches. Another important building block for AVL's future is the energy sector, where we have a broad expertise, especially in hydrogen, from fuel cell research to complete plants."
