At AVL, the modularity of our product
portfolio allows us to quickly create tailored
solutions to customer challenges.
This flexible approach is also reflected
in the way we structure our organization
and our business. With digitalization
and an open philosophy, we reconfigure
our skills and know-how to
reflect the changing needs of the industry
we serve and the legislation we help
to shape. Battery technology in particular
has evolved over many years to become
one of the most important vehicle
systems. Our focus on electrification
reinforces our commitment to sustainable
and environmentally friendly mobility
solutions.
Battery technology is just one example
of how our know-how and experience
enables us to identify industry and technological
trends long before they happen.
But there are some things that we
can’t predict. In 2020 the world changed
– and it affected everyone. Individuals
in every household, governments in every
country, and organizations in every
industry. As a result, flexible, forwardthinking
approaches are more important
today than ever before. AVL’s modular,
open work approach to everything we
do – from researching and developing
individual components to integrating
them into the complete vehicle – has
been vindicated. This difficult period has
made us stronger, and it is this strength
that we share with our customers and industry
partners. Together we can overcome
any challenge.
