IAV at the 31st Aachen Colloquium Sustainable Mobility

The highlight of IAV’s booth at the “Eurogress Aachen” is an experimental setup for low-pressure direct injection in hydrogen combustion engines. The latter represent a very interesting drive solution for light and heavy commercial vehicles in particular. They are generally very robust, cope even with inferior hydrogen qualities and are considered attractive in terms of TCO (Total Cost of Ownership).

IAV has investigated the potential of hydrogen combustion engines with low-pressure direct injection (LP-DI) compared to the previously used intake manifold injection (PFI) and the technical challenges that need to be solved and will present its findings at the annual international conference in Aachen.

With the ‘Heavy-Duty Fuel Cell Powertrain’ in 3D format, IAV will also showcase a drive concept for the use of fuel cells in heavy-duty commercial vehicles. To this end, the Berlin-based technology company had already developed the ‘Future Truck’, a truck with alternative drive systems and optimized aerodynamics.

IAV’s exhibition stand (No. 17) is located on the ground floor of the Congress Center. IAV experts will be happy to talk to you there.

With more than 7.600 employees, IAV is one of the world’s leading engineering partners for the automotive industry. The company has been developing innovative concepts and technologies for future vehicles for more than 35 years, and in 2021 it sold around 863 million euros. Customers worldwide include all well-known automobile manufacturers and suppliers. In addition to vehicle and drive development, IAV already entered electric mobility and autonomous driving at an early stage and today is one of the leading development services providers in these areas. In addition to the development centers in Berlin, Gifhorn and Chemnitz/Stollberg, IAV has other locations in Munich, Sindelfingen and Ingolstadt, as well as in Europe, Asia, North and South America.
