Looking for more than technical progress.
The work of the FVV benefits not only its member companies and research
partners but society at large. We contribute to the strengthening the small and
medium sized business sector and we enable effective research on the part of
scientific institutions. Our work also helps to protect the environment.
Supporting SMEs
We improve the competitiveness of our SME members by helping them offer
innovative products that are in line with market demands at an optimal
price-performance ratio. Pre-competitive joint research helps to cut costs,
provides access to fresh know-how and allows the development of advanced
combustion engines and their technical accessories. We give special support to
the research and development activities of small and medium sized
enterprises.
New chances for science
Intensive dialog with the industry gives our scientific partners new
incentives for their research work – in terms of subjects and finance.
Furthermore, the projects are highly significant for the practical training of
tomorrow’s leading scientists and engineers. After their involvement in research
projects, junior staff with university degrees and doctorates also have
potential roles as the industry’s future managers.
Environmentally sound technology
By raising the efficiency of engines and turbines we help to make them more
environmentally friendly. The continuous optimization of combustion efficiency
and emissions saves resources and protects the environment. Improved
constructions raise functional reliability and, therefore, safety.
