When thermal management becomes a key challenge, it takes the right test environment to find the right answers

E-motor cooling is evolving fast – our solution: a testbed that realistically replicates oil cooling under close to lifelike conditions. A look at current technology trends makes it clear: The share of e-motors using oil or hybrid cooling is growing rapidly. Why? Because oil enables more efficient heat dissipation – [...]

How reliable is your Autonomous Emergency Braking System (AEB) or Front Collision Warning (FCW) in rain, fog, or at dusk?

Autonomous Emergency Braking systems have been mandatory for all newly registered vehicles in the EU since July 2024. However, the system is often only tested under optimal weather conditions. But what happens in adverse weather conditions, such as darkness, glare, rain or fog? How does your AEB system work, and [...]

Inverter Safety  ‒  Ready for SOP?

The challenge: Proving safety for hardware and software is complex ‒ especially for applications in agriculture, off-highway, or industrial machinery. Without a compliant safety concept, you risk failed certifications at SOP or, worse, endangerment of lives in real-world operation. At AVL Software & Functions GmbH, we support safe and efficient [...]

Ever wondered how far bidirectional charging technology has become?

Last year marked a major achievement for the BMWK funded NEFTON project. In July 2024, the consortium successfully conducted the first public megawatt charging of an electric truck, delivering over 1000 kW in Plattling, Bavaria. The AVL team played a critical role by developing the control unit and software for [...]

Overengineering is a thing of the past. Today, it’s all about efficient, safe and smart design.

Safety first? Absolutely – but that doesn’t mean systems have to be overly complex or overloaded. Instead of stacking redundant components and excessive safety mechanisms, we at AVL Software and Functions focus on efficient safety solutions like intelligent architecture, smart fault detection, and adaptive safety. Efficient and safe design means: [...]
