History
The company Steyr-Daimler-Puch was
founded as “Josef and Franz Werndl and
Company” in 1864 as a rifle manufacturer,
but became known as Steyr-Werke AG
in 1924. The company began producing
bicycles, mopeds, motorcycles, automobiles,
tractors, trucks and busses. Its early years
were dominated by three big names - Steyr,
Daimler and Puch (merged with Puch and
Austro-Daimler to form Steyr-Daimler-Puch),
which form the Austrian roots of MAGNA.
Thanks to Steyr, the company even predates
the birth of the world's motor industry. When
you take a historical look at MAGNA in Austria,
you can see that we have been consistently
delivering satisfaction to our customers
for the last 100 years by engineering and
assembling vehicles to the highest technical
standards.
More than 100 years of great history in
vehicle- and drivetrain engineering.

Engineering Center Steyr
Your partner for tailor-made
drivetrain solutions
Our competence as a developer and manufacturer of high quality components and
systems is based on decades of accumulated
know-how that culminates in increased
driving pleasure, improved driving dynamics,
more safety and best in class traction. Built
on a long tradition, especially in the field of
AWD/4WD vehicles, Engineering Center
Steyr has developed the drivetrain knowhow of a true market leader.
Drivetrain Engineering provides technological
competence
and
application
knowhow, function-optimized engineering and
maximum system intelligence, giving you
compact, space-optimized and weightreduced solutions with maximum efficiency.
As a full service supplier, we offer the
development of single components as well
as complete vehicle solutions tailored to our
customer's requirements.
Together with the MAGNA Powertrain
productions sites and their comprehensive
manufacturing know-how we can deliver
our customers design-for-manufacturing
solutions right from the beginning.
In addition to complete product development
we offer our services also on smaller scale as
requested by the customer, e.g. testing on
test benches.

Concept & Design
Concept studies, patent investigations,
feasibility studies and cost assessment
are the basis for an optimum design. The
design process is part of simultaneous
engineering and also includes FMEA, early
stage supplier involvement, team-work with
customer, simulation and testing, production
documentation and support for SOP. For the
convenience of our customers the design is
usually done in the required CAD system.
Drivetrain components
Engineering Center Steyr also develops,
besides
complete
soultions,
single
components and related modules, which
assist customers in reducing weight,
improving fuel economy and reducing cost.
Furthermore we are using Digital Mock-up for
packaging investigations to ensure assembly
as well as function in the vehicle.
Design includes a wide range of
activities
• Creation of technical solutions
• Bringing ideas to screen/paper/concept
studies/risk assessment
• Cost reduction
• Cooperation with suppliers &
manufacturing
• Team work with simulation and testing
• Documentation
• Bill of material
Advanced Development
We can offer the competence and skills to
carry out complete vehicle development.
From the start we set our minds on
modularity of component design and to
fulfill our customer expectations specific
to commercial vehicle business:
High durability standards, long-life cycles,
cost-effective and feasible design under
consideration of local manufacturing
requirements and customer needs.
Analysis & Simulation
Optimal solutions right from the beginning
of a new development: Engineering Center
Steyr uses its huge simulation expertise
and variety of software to perform all the
calculations, analysis and simulations
necessary to drivetrain development. The use
of these state of art software tools increases
the development performance and efficiency
and is therefore more economic, providing
our customers best in class solutions.

Prototyping, Testing & NVH
We are offering our customers the testing
and validation services according to specific
demands, relying on our own testing
facilities for functional and endurance
testing for complete drivelines, systems and
components. Vehicle tests are performed
either on public roads, off-road or or on our
on-site proving ground. All tests are carefully
documented for future reference and if
appropriate, suggestions for improvements
are made.
The fact that we handle prototype parts and
assemble complete prototypes in house and
establish gear and bearing adjustements
helps to shorten the development time.
