AVILOO GMBH

Their core work

AVILOO is an Austrian technology SME that builds independent diagnostic tools for electric vehicle batteries — their core product measures the real state-of-health of a used EV battery without needing manufacturer data. This matters because used-EV buyers, leasing companies, insurers, and fleet operators currently have no reliable way to know how much life is left in a battery pack. By running a standardized test that produces a trustworthy health score, AVILOO turns an opaque used-EV market into a transparent one. They are now extending the same diagnostic expertise from road vehicles into maritime battery systems.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

AVILOO began H2020 in 2020 as the coordinator of a focused SME-2 project productizing their independent battery health test for used electric cars — a sharp, commercial offering. By 2021 they joined a larger RIA consortium (Current Direct) extending the same battery expertise into maritime swappable containers and Energy-as-a-Service models. The shift is from road EV diagnostics toward broader battery-system applications and service-based business models in transport.

AVILOO is widening from a single-product EV diagnostics SME into a battery-intelligence partner for broader electromobility, including shipping and service-based battery models.

How they like to work

AVILOO leads when the project is close to their commercial product (they coordinated their own SME-2 battery-check project) and joins as a specialist partner when the consortium is larger and further from market. In Current Direct they contribute battery diagnostic know-how inside a 16-partner RIA consortium spanning 9 countries. This mix suggests a company that is confident running its own commercialization but happy to plug into bigger research teams when the topic touches their expertise.

Collaborated with 16 distinct partners across 9 countries, mostly through the Current Direct consortium. Austria remains their base, but their network is clearly pan-European rather than local.

What sets them apart

Most battery diagnostics work sits inside carmakers or their tier-1 suppliers and is not shared with third parties — AVILOO is one of the few European players offering a brand-independent battery health test, which is exactly what the used-EV market, leasing firms, and insurers need. The EUR 2.2M SME-2 grant to commercialize this tool is a strong signal the EU saw them as the lead European candidate for independent EV battery certification. For partners, they bring a rare combination of market-ready diagnostic product plus real battery-pack measurement expertise.
