Volvo Cars has chosen to deploy Dassault Systèmes’ 3DExperience platform for electric vehicle development. The platform helps automotive manufacturers streamline collaboration and deliver data-driven approaches to manage complexity.
Volvo Cars was already using Dassault Systèmes’ CATIA. The Swedish car maker will benefit from a seamless migration of its data from CATIA applications and third-party solutions to one virtual platform that facilitates collaborative design and development.
Companies can share real-time information with multiple teams worldwide and build up their revenue pipeline by reducing engineering time, lead time and costs; maximizing reuse of parts; increasing product quality; and overcoming regulatory challenges.
Volvo engineers will depend on multiple Dassault Systèmes solution experiences based on the 3DExperience platform to improve quality, part reuse, issue management, the test and validation cycle, requirements and traceability. These solutions include Efficient Multi-Energy Platform, Global Modular Architecture, Smart, Safe & Connected, and Sustainable Multi-functional Vehicle.
“Auto makers are under pressure to deliver new products and functions quickly and cost-effectively. Volvo Cars excels in developing unique vehicle experiences. In order to build these best-in-class experiences, their engineers need advanced technology solutions, including the ability to combine the development of hardware and software together. The 3Dxperience platform will provide this,” said Laurence Montanari, vice president, Transportation and Mobility Industry, Dassault Systèmes.
