AVL List GmbH, based in Graz, Austria, provides simulation, testing, and engineering for powertrains, batteries, hydrogen systems, and automated driving. The company serves OEMs and suppliers with lab services, digital twins, and testbed solutions to improve safety, performance, and manufacturability.
AVL’s core technology combines simulation-driven development, hardware-in-the-loop testing, and turnkey testbeds for powertrains and batteries. Differentiators include digital twin toolchains (CRUISE M, EXCITE M, FIRE M, VSM, SIMcloud), multi-channel bidirectional cell cyclers, and large hydrogen and fuel cell test centers. AVL integrates real-time controllers, machine-learning analytics for lifetime forecasting and anomaly detection, and a digital battery passport for traceability. These capabilities support thermal and structural optimization, prevention of thermal runaway propagation, accelerated virtual validation, and lower prototype cycles—improving safety, performance, and lifecycle carbon intensity for mobility and stationary applications.
AVL supplies simulation software and cloud services, cell-to-pack testing systems (cell cyclers, integrated test chambers), emulation hardware, BMS development and validation tools, and turnkey battery labs. Offerings include test automation, remote testing, lab management software, and consulting for industrialization. Applications span passenger and commercial EVs, hybrid vehicles, heavy-duty transport, stationary energy storage, rail, and marine sectors.
Recent projects in the past year include ARISE Gen-4 solid-state battery (2025–2028), with AVL Italia contributing pack architecture, eco-design, machine-learning-enabled BMS development, and digital twin validation within a European R&D consortium. In 2025 AVL designed and equipped a battery-cell testing laboratory for PowerCo at Salzgitter, Germany, validating systems at Graz before deployment to support pilot-scale cell testing and accelerated verification workflows with OEM partners.
AVL List GmbH is privately held and independent.
