AVL Focus - Issue 2025

Developed, built, and tested in just twelve

months, the AEE 1 demonstrates how AVL is suc-

cessfully transferring its automotive know-how

into the energy sector.

AVL combines engineering, simulation, and

testing expertise to help OEMs and brake

system suppliers not only comply, but also

create cleaner, safer, and more innovative brake

systems.

Artificial intelligence is redefining how we create value, make

decisions, and innovate. It is not a question of if we use AI, but how

responsibly and effectively we do so.

Lukas Walter returns to AVL as Chief Operating Officer

Engineering. In this interview, he shares how curiosity,

responsibility, and innovation drive change.

AVL delivers a modular software toolchain that empowers

OEMs and suppliers to efficiently test and calibrate vehicles

and their components.

Horse, born from Renault’s spin-off with Geely, is

­transforming Valladolid into a hub for next-generation

hybrid technologies, supported by over 100 AVL engineers

­advancing efficient, reliable, and sustainable mobility.
