Customizing cars to suit the needs and
tastes of the end user has long been a key
driver in the automotive industry. In an
era when powertrains are converting to
more electrified and autonomous mo-
bility, and as everything becomes more
connected, overcoming complexity is
the new challenge. The risks that come
alongside must be analyzed and man-
aged cautiously though: Cybersecurity
has become a major issue for OEMs.
AVL offers a diverse range of solutions
for this new age, from simulation and
testing solutions to embedded software
development tools and services. They
are based on four principles: delivering
software that grows with you, reduc-
ing the burden of complexity to find the
fastest solution that works for you, an-
swering today’s challenges and uncov-
ering tomorrow’s solutions. Together,
we are defining the safe key for the “car
quartet” of the 21st century. It calls for
new perspectives on everything from
how we manage our carbon footprint
around the world, to how we simulate
and test an infinite number of scenarios
to be ready for the road.
Diversity is not only manifested in our
holistic technology portfolio, or the way
we manage our own operations around
the world, but also in our workforce.
Once a male-dominated industry, engi-
neering is increasingly benefitting from
the skills and perspectives of a growing
female contingent. Women are playing
a decisive role, in our labs, and in the
office, where our creative minds shape
future mobility solutions.
