Featuring nine test beds for the development and testing of engines, powertrains and vehicles, its modular design allows the addition of another 16 test beds. AVL CEO Helmut List: "The testing and engineering center was built to accomplish highly sophisticated engineering tasks and has a flexible design that allows us to respond swiftly to future requirements. By opening this Tech Center, we have established a further important milestone in the industrial location of Germany."
