editorial
The nations of the world know that the com-
plete defossilization of transportation, of our in-
dustry, actually of our entire living environment
by 2050, will be one of the most important un-
dertakings of our lifetimes. To achieve this, CO2
emissions must be reduced as quickly as possible
in the next few years by substantially increasing
the efficiency of all types of propulsion systems
and energy production. Electrified vehicles and
hydrogen as net zero energy are the main pillars
on the way to sustainable mobility. Furthermore,
we are facing our customers’ high demand for
more intelligent, connected, comfortable and safe
mobility options. So, it is our highest priority to
support our customers in bringing safe and reli-
able systems into the vehicles and to deliver the
best user experience in this new way of driving.
All this means that we set a greater focus than
ever on software and data. To enable this ac-
celerated transition, it requires a new toolset, a
new mindset, and a new approach to the way
we work. At AVL, we are drawing on our ex-
perience and market understanding to provide
the industry with software tools, testing archi-
tectures, new business models, and the holistic
approach required to develop the vehicles of to-
morrow. We are building the proving grounds
to validate tomorrow’s advanced technologies,
and we are investing in R&D to push innova-
tion even further. We are already transitioning to
a future where electrically powered vehicles are
being designed and exhaustively tested virtually,
before being built to drive themselves in a radi-
cally different automotive landscape.
Our technology is built on the demands of a fast-
moving industry. We trust our skilled scientists,
technologists, engineers and forward-thinkers.
Their unrivalled passion for motion is not just
driven by the need for better solutions today, it
has always driven us and will continue to drive
us. For a brighter future of mobility. For our
future generations. Some call it a distant dream.
We call it reimagining motion.
