BVA is a French acronym, it means Besson Vieillissement Amelioré Reymond Besson is the scientist who invented it, here in Besancon, a friend of mine, officially retired, yet still at work. "Vieillissement" means aging, "Amelioré" means improved.
Somebody says that it also means "Besson vieux âne", if you know French, and French culture because this is not the kind of thing you can translate without killing the meaning.
