Engineering and powertrain specialist AVL List GmbH is donating $1 million worth of emissions testing equipment and software to create a mobility laboratory with the University of California-Riverside (UCR).
The lab, located about 60 miles east of Los Angeles, will be part of UCR’s Bourns College of Engineering Center for Environmental Research and Technology. The new testing facility will focus on electrification, energy and emissions management, traffic patterns, advanced driver assist systems, connected vehicles and artificial intelligence.
In addition to UCR, AVL is working with more than 45 universities and technical centers worldwide. The company says it uses such partnership programs to develop and test new technologies and foster relationships with student engineers.
