Solutions for the electric vehicle market
AVL and Comau sign strategic partnership
In order to meet the new requirements of the electrification market, experienced full-service suppliers are needed who can offer high-performance assembly and testing solutions for the production of electric and hybrid vehicles at a reasonable price. To meet these challenges, AVL List and Comau have decided to pool their expertise in order to develop innovative, modular and flexible solutions.
Since January 1, 2018, the two companies have maintained an open cooperation in the areas of simulation, design, assembly and testing of powertrain components for both electric and conventional vehicles.
The collaboration between AVL and Comau will provide customers worldwide with access to robust standard solutions - supported by a local presence, which will increase quality and shorten time-to-market. The partnership will initially focus on assembly systems and end-of-line testing for vehicle batteries.
"Our partnership brings together two market leaders in their respective fields. With common goals and complementary skills, we are able to offer our customers the best of both worlds and provide the market with a unique interface for the entire assembly process - from design to execution," explains Andrew Lloyd, Automation Systems COO, Comau.
"With the combined expertise of Comau and AVL - Comau with its highly developed Industry 4.0 solutions and AVL with design experience in the integration of powertrain components and the corresponding testing methodologies - we will set new standards in battery assembly and final testing," explains Urs Gerspach, Managing Director, AVL List.
