Our aim is to collaborate with our customers and to support them in creating a successful business position by leveraging AVL’s unique strengths:

Specialist Engineering Expertise for Large EnginesAVL has played a major role in the development of around 100 large engines (diesel and gas). AVL has the most experienced independent engineer-ing team in the industry, which combined with a unique frontloading process and two single cylinder engine testing systems, enables AVL to design large engines from strategy all the way to production.

Technology Innovation and R&D ToolsHigher product efficiency and quality are dedicated goals for the large engines industry, and AVL achieves these goals with advanced simulation expertise, experimental methods and innovative technologies.

Development, Simulation, Testing and Integration under One RoofAVL is the only engineering company in the world that provides simulation, development, testing and system integration as a “one-stop-shop” competence center.

Industry Knowledge, Market and Application ExpertiseAVL is highly experienced in developing com- petitive products that are optimally tailored to fit targeted markets and applications.

Global PresenceAVL has Engineering Tech Centers in Europe, Asia, North and South America and Australia. Local support is provided with the back-up of an international network of experts and technologies.
