Dassault Systèmes and Volkswagen Group have announced a long-term partnership to advance Volkswagen’s digital infrastructure for vehicle development by leveraging Dassault Systèmes’ 3DExperience platform.
Volkswagen has chosen the 3DExperience platform on the cloud as a main engineering and manufacturing platform. Engineers, designers and other professionals across the Volkswagen, Audi and Porsche brands will use virtual twins to streamline the development of vehicles. This will help teams simulate, test and refine every aspect of vehicle development in a collaborative virtual environment before physical production begins.
“We are advancing the development of our next-generation IT system landscape, and the decision to partner with Dassault Systèmes marks an important milestone,” said Hauke Stars, board member at Volkswagen Group for IT. “With consistent data streams and AI solutions built on them, we are creating a true technological leap for our teams in development and factory planning. At the same time, we are sustainably reducing IT costs and accelerating processes by streamlining our system complexity and utilizing virtual twins.”
Pascal Daloz, CEO, Dassault Systèmes, said, “After four decades of partnership rooted in innovation and trust, we’re now embarking on the next chapter with Volkswagen Group with the 3DExperience platform at its core.”
Volkswagen Group will rely on four Dassault Systèmes industry solution experiences based on the 3DExperience platform: Global Modular Architecture; Smart, Safe and Connected; Efficient Multi-Energy Platform; and On-Target Vehicle Launch.
