Partners

In order to be able to offer the widest possible range of products at the highest level of quality, MicroNova cooperates with selected competent partners in the area of Testing Solutions.

AVL is the world's largest independent company for the development, simulation, and testing of drive systems (hybrid, combustion engine, transmission, electric drive, batteries, fuel cell, and control technology) for passenger cars, commercial vehicles, stationary engines, large engines, and their integration into the vehicle. As a pioneer in the field of innovative solutions such as diverse electrification strategies of propulsion systems, AVL is increasingly expanding its services in the field of autonomous driving, especially on the basis of subjective human perception (driveability, connectivity, ADAS, etc.). In the competition between technologies – combustion engine, battery-electric drive, and fuel cell – as well as combinations of them, AVL works intensively with equal priorities.
