AVL: Embracing Change and Driving Future Mobility Trends

“The work we do isn’t just about the challenges of today and tomorrow,” says AVL chairman and CEO Helmut List. “Together with our customers, we look beyond to drive technologies that shape mobility trends for the future.”

Not surprising, then, that List values AVL’s ability to adapt to change.

With more than 11,000 employees and headquarters in Graz, Austria, AVL is the world’s largest company for development, simulation and testing in the automotive industry, and in other sectors. Drawing on its pioneering spirit, it provides concepts, solutions and methodologies to shape future mobility trends.

The company is a major contributor to e-mobility, and applies a multi-energy strategy for all applications, from hybrid to purely electric including fuel cell technologies. AVL provides innovative and affordable systems to reduce CO2 — as well as time to market. “Our portfolio covers system development, test and validation solutions, simulation tools and expert know-how in these technologies,” says List.

“AVL constantly evolves its ecosystem of high end methodologies and innovative technologies in the area of vehicle development and testing which provides real world solutions to support customers’ future mobility ambitions.”

“We have built comprehensive competencies in the fields of ADAS (advanced driver assistance systems) and AD (autonomous driving), and digitalization to accelerate the vision of smart and connected mobility. We offer a complete portfolio, from system design, testing, calibration and validation services, tailored software and controls development, to tools and methods for scenario-based development and testing.”

“AVL constantly evolves its ecosystem of high end methodologies and innovative technologies in the area of vehicle development and testing which provides real world solutions to support customers’ future mobility ambitions.”

AVL has digitalized the vehicle development process with state-of-the-art and scalable IT, software and technology platforms. It creates customer solutions in Big Data, AI, simulation and embedded systems.

As mobility systems become more complex and interact with one another, it is critical to take a holistic approach to vehicle development. “We touch every step, from ideation phase to serial production, covering future vehicle architectures and platform solutions, new powertrains and energy carriers,” List explains.

Services include solutions for future vehicle architectures and platforms, powertrains, electronics, chassis and integration of thermal, ADAS, and vehicle systems. “We perform functional development, vehicle system development, assisted/automated driving and connectivity development.

“With a unique and detailed understanding that ranges from single components all the way to the complete vehicle, we are able to balance and optimize the overall goals at all levels of the architecture.”

AVL is proud to have more than 1,500 patents in force — more than 300 of them granted in 2020 worldwide. “Our passion is innovation. This is reflected in our dedication to research, our high R&D investment in all business segments, collaborations with universities and constant exchange within national associations and industry partners.”

Working with an international network of experts in 26 countries and with 45 tech and engineering centers worldwide, AVL creates technologies by driving mobility trends that will help to battle climate change.

List puts it in a nutshell: “We are AVL. We are adaptable to change.”
