Advanced Vehicle Research Center (AVRC)

The Advanced Vehicle Research Center (AVRC) was established in 2001 in North Carolina by Dick Dell as an independent company to service the rapidly growing automotive testing industry. The automotive industry is going through unprecedented change as more investment in research and development is being done due to the rising cost of fuel and the need for energy independence.  Additional factors include increasing federal regulations, safety improvements and new technologies. Demand for testing services has steadily increased, especially in the military sector and from off-road component manufacturers.
