The impact of the Covid 19 virus
is affecting the whole world and
has changed all our lives in recent
weeks and months. It is an unprecedented
situation with a multitude
of extraordinary challenges.
In these difficult times, the health
and safety of our employees, customers
and partners are of the utmost
importance. AVL is committed
to continuing its work in all areas,
such as engineering, project management,
production and customer
service. Our worldwide network of
Technical Centers and technical offices
enables us to use our expertise
in a highly flexible way, thus providing
our customers with optimal
support regardless of their region.
Because of our global structure, our
international teams are very familiar
with both remote working and
digital communication, and have
in-depth experience in cooperating
across locations and operating testbeds
remotely and automatically
through remote support. This enables
us to maintain efficiency at a
consistently high level even under
the new safety regulations.
I am convinced that we will master
these challenging times by joining
forces and working together with
mutual support and cooperation.
Stay healthy!
