AVL and iwis to Develop Innovative VCR System
The collaboration will cover the entire development and production chain, and will strengthen both of the companies' leadership positions for innovative automotive solutions. Because of its modular con-rod concept, the jointly developed Dual Mode VCS™ (Variable Compression Ratio System) is easy to integrate into existing engine architectures. This makes the Dual Mode VCS technology a cost-optimized solution to further reduce CO2 emissions in fleets.

AVL draws on an extensive range of state-of-the-art development capabilities. iwis' role in the partnership is to support the joint development activities with its many years of experience in the large-scale series production of high-quality automotive components.
