AVL iGeneration(TM) Exhaust Emission Measurement Systems

First North American Demonstration to be at Testing Expo North America

NOVI, Mich., Oct 25 -- AVL's new generation of innovative exhaust emission sampling and measuring systems, dubbed "AVL iGeneration(TM)," is now available in North America and will be introduced and demonstrated in the AVL booth (#16000) at the Testing Expo North America 2007.

This new and improved technology provides greater reliability, precision, stability and is more flexible and easier to use. It offers new and improved gas analyzers providing more precise and stable measurements, while offering a faster response time. The intuitive software at the heart of the system now offers plug and play connections as well as innovative interactive diagnostics features and excellent network capabilities.

  The first new products of the AVL iGeneration(TM) are:

  -- AVL AMA-i60(TM) exhaust measuring system features interactive
     diagnostic system, intelligent error management and integrated
     maintenance planning.  It has remote diagnosis access to sensor values
     and valve level positions.  It also features new and advanced gas
     analyzers and is EPA Part 1065 compliant.

  -- AVL CVS dilution system has fully automated calibration functions.  It
     has a compact profile, up to 30 m3/min. in a 19" cabinet.  This energy
     saving version is for diesel applications without heat exchanger and
     with blower speed control.  It is EPA Part 1065 compliant.

  -- AVL PSS i60(TM) particulate sampler offers expansion capability with
     HFID and HCLD.  It has improved flow analysis and more accurate
     control.  Its compact profile fits everything, including optional
     analyzers, in a 19" cabinet.  It also is EPA Part 1065 compliant.

  -- AVL iGEM(TM) device controller is a common software platform with a
     highly intuitive user interface for all iGeneration(TM) products.  It
     has mulit-host functionality and decentralized operation.  In addition,
     it has plug and play functionality with best-in-class ASAM GDI
     interface and interactive help system.

AVL iGeneration(TM) is the result from the combined expertise and experience of three companies, Pierburg Instruments, Peus-Systems and AVL List. These groups have successfully merged over the past five years to form the AVL Emission Test Systems division.

AVL is the world's largest privately owned and independent company for the development of gasoline, diesel and alternative fuel powertrain systems, as well as fuel cell and hybrid technologies. The company offers combined solutions of powertrain engineering, simulation software and testing and instrumentation systems. AVL's North American Headquarters is located in the Detroit suburb of Plymouth, Michigan. For more information, AVL can be found at www.avl.com.
