TECHNOLOGY PARTNERSHIP
WITH THE HUMAN TOUCH
Behind the expertise and cutting-edge engineering lies the art of listening.
The choice of new powertrain technologies is growing, and global
legislation and market requirements are varied and changing constantly.
Automotive manufacturers can find it difficult to keep up the capacities
and cost of delivering the growing range of powertrains for every regional
market and required derivatives.
So, it is vital for OEMs to partner with an external organisation that can
support them to make the most of the opportunities of different regional
markets, while maintaining competitiveness in the rapidly evolving technological
landscape. To this end, many market-leading manufacturers
choose AVL.

At AVL we have spent many years
building and optimizing our serial
development expertise. Today we
are able to offer our customers a
variety of solutions that are not
only at the technological cuttingedge,
but which also cut costs and
development times while maintaining
quality and robust results.
Taking the entire development process
into account, we are able to give
special focus to ‘early stage’ activities.
This reduces revision loops
and guarantees greater success in
later stages around manufacturing
and serviceability. By combining
this Simultaneous Engineering approach
with our extensive experience
in benchmarking, production planning
and cost engineering, we are
able to significantly reduce production
costs early in the concept phase.
We have a diverse range of experience
in all aspects of powertrain
technology – from electrified propulsion
for any application up to
ship engines. This includes industrialization
and development knowhow
in the latest new technologies,
such as fuel cell and ADAS. With
market-leading simulation and concepting
technologies, we can assess
the best combination of these new
technologies before any hardware
has ever been built. Additionally, we
can manage complexity, assess alternative
solutions and reduce weight
and material costs from the start of
the process.
Specifically, we are able to offer our
customers a full-service solution
backed by experience, that includes:
• Technical target achievement and
integration
• Management of production costs
and cost engineering
• Supplier management
• Ensuring manufacturability and
serviceability
• Change and problem management
• Release management
