Company history

[edit]
Older logo

Together with Hans List, several engine researchers founded the IBL (Ingenieurbüro List). The diesel engines from 1949 were already being mass-produced at the Jenbacher Werke in Tyrol and at the Andritzer Maschinenfabrik in Graz. In 1951, the IBL became the AVL, the "Anstalt für Verbrennungskraftmaschinen List" (Institute for Combustion Engines List).

In the 1970s, the AVL List launched fully automatic test beds, capsule technology for engine sound insulation, DI diesel engines for passenger car applications and a LD light diesel engine. In 1979, Helmut List, son of the company's founder Hans List, who had worked for the company since 1966, took over as chairman of the board of management.

Since then, AVL List expanded with further company locations and spin-offs in China and Europe.[1]
