AVL X-ion™ is a completely new high-speed data acquisition platform dedicated to powertrain development. It is a modular acquisition system that can be easily adapted to different units under test and environments, and that will help manage growing powertrain complexity. Key features include increased efficiency thanks to a reduced number of tools in the test facility and office, enabled testbed versatility which reduces changeover and retooling times, a stress-free transition from combustion to electrified powertrains due to modularity, and a future-proof investment thanks to evolutionary module concept.
