Post by AVL in North America

How do you validate Formula 1 transmissions that must withstand extreme loads while delivering maximum performance and efficiency?   For years, transmission testing in Formula 1 has been one of the most demanding validation challenges in motorsport. Increasing power levels, complex hybrid powertrains and the need for absolute reliability leave no room for compromise.   To address these challenges, AVL RACETECH developed the AVL Prime Mover – a highly specialized test system designed to reproduce realistic operating conditions while combining high power density with exceptionally low rotor inertia.   The result is a solution that enables dynamic load simulations for demanding applications such as transmission durability testing, gearshifts, launch simulations and transient load events.   And development is continuing: AVL RACETECH is already working on an upgrade to ensure the motor is prepared for potential future regulation changes. For existing customers, this upgrade will be made available as a retrofit option.   📖 In our latest FOCUS article, we share how AVL took the lead in F1 transmission testing and how this expertise continues to support innovation far beyond motorsport.   👉 Read the full story: https://lnkd.in/guZ6rSSd   #focus #weareAVL #AVLRACETECH #transmissiontesting #formula1
