Engine testing has a legacy of more than 70 years at AVL. This broad expertise has been demonstrated in thousands of engine testbed installations. On top of that, our propulsion system engineering team operates ICE and hybrid testbeds in tech centers around the world. Which is why our engine testing technology is continuously advanced by dedicated in-house expertise.
Our portfolio of engine test systems is available for a wide range of research and development tasks.
These include:
- Hardware verification
- System integration incl. hybrid components
- ECU / HCU calibration
- Hybrid operating strategy implementation
- Fuel consumption optimization
- Electric charge determination
- Steady state and dynamic duty tests
- Engine response optimization
- Exhaust emissions development and homologation
With advanced engine and hybrid testing technology, AVL is continuously striving to support customers with their development challenges of today and the future.”

Engine tests are now even expanding to vehicle testing on the road (RDE). AVL has developed a new optical encoder 366C that is much smaller, lighter and has less inertia than its predecessor.
More stringent emission legislation and new types of combustion engines such as the H2 ICE are making engine testing more complex. AVL's BLOW BY METER, an indispensable instrument with unique performance, meets these challenges.
AVL EPOS™ is our solution to these challenges. It allows you to manage costs, availability, and performance and make the most of your investment.
AVL FLOWSONIX™ Air is the innovative measurement system for the measurement of air consumption that is fast, accurate and robust.
The measurement system uses an ultrasonic transit-time differential technique to accurately measure air mass flow in the intake.
A powerful pair of fuel consumption measurement and conditioning devices to enhance development workflow.
The AVL Fuel Mass Flow Meter and AVL Fuel Temperature Control combine high accuracy and excellent temperature stability with short measurement times.
Ensuring the efficient and professional calibration of AVL fuel consumption measurement devices according to ISO 17025.
AVL FuelExact™ takes advantage of the well-established and highly precise measurement principles (PLU or Mass Flow) combined with the world’s best fuel temperature control.
Fuel consumption measuring system for the heavy-duty and non-road mobile machinery industry.
Fuel flow meter for close-to-engine applications and the testing of components, engine, and vehicles.
The AVL X-ion™ e-Power power analyzer is a modular data acquisition platform that is optimized for electric and hybrid applications.
AVL X-meter helps you with in-vehicle energy balance measurement, range testing, precise re-charging energy measurement and pre-compliance tests.
Efficient testbed utilization is ensured by continuous improvements suggested by our in-house engineers. Our expert teams from Powertrain Engineering and Test System development are working closely together at all times. Effective and efficient development work is ensured by the holistic and seamlessly integrated our product portfolio, in which AVL hybrid and engine test systems play an important role. We support development from initial concept ideas to production. Individual development steps are integrated and connected via consistent development methodology tools.
In addition, our competent test application support is available to all our customers. Engineers guide our customers globally with firsthand expertise in tackling complex development tasks and challenges. The interaction of complex test system configurations can be verified prior to delivery using our advanced in-house system integration test environments (test center) to assure a right-first-time approach. Highly realistic test conditions are applied in combination with AVL simulation models (e.g. engines, dynos, measuring devices, etc.).
AVL’s comprehensive worldwide network of experts allows best customer vicinity, ensuring consistent and connecting testing fields globally. Wherever your R&D challenges take you, we are always close at hand, ready to provide the service you need.
