qualified and practice oriented training of young scientists
a permanent and comprehensive network of corporate and industrial competence
Main areas of research
the optimization of combustion engines
CO2 emissions, the reduction of other emission components
optimized and alternative fuels
new and alternative drive concepts, hybrid drives
improved and new materials and lubricants
simulation and calculation tools
Going Europe
FVV is broadening its membership base to become a European player by enhancing
the cooperation with European corporations and research partners.

FVV - Network
The FVV was founded in 1956 as a non-profit society for engineering and research
in order to promote pre-competitive, joint research for combustion engines.
27 founding members
Today 139 members => including 1 US and 20 European corporations
Member companies are manufacturers of
combustion engines (motor vehicle and industrial engines)
turbomachinery (gas and steam turbines, superchargers, axial and radial
compressors)
components and systems for the automotive, industrial engine and turbomachinery
industry
R&D service providers and engineering firms
FVV - competence in research for more than 50 years
