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.

Shifting Landscape of Technology Is a Never-Ending Education
Brent Donaldson, Senior Editor, Modern Machine Shop and Additive Manufacturing Magazine discusses how the shifting landscape of technology that all of Gardner’s writers and editors cover is a never-ending education. If we are truly doing our jobs, we will never feel like we’ve mastered them. As I continue writing and reporting for AM and MMS, it’s easy to imagine how these technologies’ interdependency will continue to grow. It also seems clear that this kind of reporting — the kind that requires editors to experience and share new manufacturing technologies and strategies — is the kind of reporting that only Gardner can produce with any depth. I’m grateful to be part of it.
