Engineering simulation software company Ansys, and Tata Consultancy Services have signed a memorandum of understanding to bolster electric vehicle (EV) technology development. Under the agreement, TCS will develop a centre of excellence (CoE) for advanced digital engineering for vehicle electrification in Pune using Ansys’ simulation software.
This collaboration focuses on advancing emerging automotive technologies for electrification systems of hybrid and electric vehicles. TCS EV CoE and Ansys will leverage advanced engineering simulation methods to accelerate vehicle electrification development for global automotive customers.
Rafiq Somani, Area Vice President - India and South Asia Pacific, Ansys, said, “The collaboration of the automotive industry with major technology companies has the ability to deliver the most advanced, safest, and most comfortable vehicles on the market.”
The CoE will develop solutions for e-powertrain components like batteries, motors, inverters, power electronics and their integration on EVs. Solutions such as battery electrochemistry have the potential to help reduce prototype builds and improve the range, performance, and safety of EVs.
Regu Ayyaswamy, Senior Vice President and Global Head, IoT and Digital Engineering, TCS, added, “Our electric vehicle centre of excellence will build solutions that will more accurately simulate battery electrochemistry and key elements of the EV powertrain. This will enable global automotive firms to speed up their product development and launch safer, longer range and more efficient EVs.”
