AVL and InSilicoTrials (IST) have entered into a strategic partnership to integrate AVL FIRE™ M into the InSilicoTrials AI and modeling and simulation platform.

To determine if an automated driving function is safe, billions of test kilometers would be required. Physical testing and real-world prototypes simply cannot efficiently handle such a massive test volume. Virtualization offers a more sustainable option that can manage the enormous test volume required at a much lower cost.

AVL Italia has won the tender issued by Ente Autonomo Volturno (EAV), a company of the Campania Region operating in the public road and rail transport sector, for the construction of a 5MW (megawatt) green hydrogen production plant, with on-site storage and a 350 bar refueling station, for local public transport trains and buses.

AVL, TUPY and partners developed and tested a hydrogen high-pressure direct injection (H2-HPDI) engine, achieving a brake thermal efficiency (BTE) of over 50 %, with potential improvements up to 52 %. The engine's performance is comparable to diesel engines, with similar full load power and transient torque characteristics.

The battery is undoubtedly the most complex component of modern electric cars and is largely responsible for the driving experience and range. However, over the course of its service life, it is subject to a continuous loss of performance due to degradation mechanisms that impair its storage capacity and thus the range and power output of the vehicle.

AVL Italia is proud to announce its new role as a co-founder of the prestigious Fondazione Venezia Capitale/Venice Sustainability Foundation (VSF). This strategic partnership underscores AVL Italia’s commitment to fostering innovation and sustainable development in the region.

Dishwashers are one of those common household appliances that can be found in almost every modern kitchen. Over the decades, not only have dishwasher designs and capabilities been adapted, but the methods and technologies used to analyze and enhance various aspects of dishwasher efficiency have also changed significantly.

Electromobility is facing a key challenge: battery charging times must be minimized in order to increase the acceptance of electric vehicles. This is of key importance as, alongside range, charging time is one of the most important factors for user satisfaction.

Global initiatives and actions to reach long-term climate goals are evidently resulting in the development and industrialization of new electrolyzer systems. Significant growth of announced electrolyzer projects is forecasted each year and solid oxide electrolyzers (SOEC) are one of the most promising technologies.

AVL Green Camp 2024 concludes today. The program challenged students on topics related to electricity generation through solar energy, the use of programming languages, and the analysis of energy production tools’ consumption.
