The main issue for optimization of existing combustion engines and development of new ones is the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. While the challenges posed by EURO 7 or similar legislation have to be met, the industry is researching and developing new, alternative fuels. They can help to reduce global CO2 emissions immediately...

Powertrain, chassis, aerodynamics, electrics and electronics, thermal and HVAC systems - until now, vehicle systems were usually developed independently and optimized separately. Interaction with regard to the functional characteristics of vehicle properties such as energy management, fuel consumption, drivability or driving dynamics...

What will the vehicle of the future look like? It will be electrified in some form, sure. But most importantly, it will be equipped with a variety of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), and the driver will be able to fully rely on the vehicle through autonomous driving (AD).

The biggest challenge is to gain drivers' trust in the technology by...

AVL is a leader in the use of simulation in vehicle development. Our simulation solution for combustion engines is used by most engine manufacturers worldwide.

With simulation, we achieve three things in powertrain development: First, we ensure durability for all components - from the crankshaft to the connecting rod and plain bearings to the entire...

Despite increasing electrification, the internal combustion engine (ICE) will continue to be a mainstay of mobility on our roads for years to come - whether as a stand-alone drive or as part of a hybrid system. Resource-, cost- and time-saving optimization of ICE development tasks is the primary goal.

Software plays an integral role not only in the vehicle development process, but also in the driver experience. Today, consumers expect more intelligent, comfortable, and safe mobility. To achieve this, we combine our deep application know-how with our software development capabilities and cutting-edge simulation and testing solutions.

The omnipresent desire to make mobility more sustainable as quickly as possible continues to drive the industry's evolution. In addition to pursuing different drive concepts, OEMs need to take a closer look at their design cycles. E-mobility in particular is leading to new players entering the market and launching vehicles in less than 18 months.

Range and performance are crucial to the success of electrified vehicles (EVs). For vehicle manufacturers, this means that energy-intensive systems such as heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC), as well as Vehicle Thermal Management Systems (VTMS) and the E/E architecture have a special place in development.
