Dassault Systèmes on World EV Day announced that Cell Propulsion, an electric mobility startup, founded by former ISRO (Indian Space Research Organisation) engineers, has chosen the 3DEXPERIENCE platform on cloud to enable collaboration across teams and bridge the gap between design and manufacturing in a seamless manner. Cell Propulsion builds and deploys electric light commercial vehicles (eLCVs) and electric heavy commercial vehicles (eHCVs) as part of its integrated solution using SOLIDWORKS and ENOVIA.
“In order to meet growing demand for EVs in India, we are developing integrated solutions to make this transition seamless. We needed a safe, scalable solution to track product development, project progress and further our goal of enabling large-scale commercial vehicle fleet electrification using smart, electric mobility technology,” said Nakul Kukar, Co-Founder and Chief Executive, Cell Propulsion.
The company will leverage SOLIDWORKS and ENOVIA applications with the aim to develop integrated ecosystem to accelerate the adoption of electric commercial vehicles in India. From battery pack & eCV design & development, planning project timeline for product designing, and 3D modelling to product assembly, the company has adopted the 3DEXPERIENCE platform to address various challenges related to product life-cycle management, improve collaboration, and visualize 3D design with real-time simulation. The 3DEXPERIENCE platform will help Cell Propulsion to collaborate and streamline the design process as per production and manufacturing requirements, thereby reducing costs.
Nakul added,“Dassault Systèmes’ 3DEXPERIENCE platform is assisting us in turning our concepts into models using tools like SOLIDWORKS and ENOVIA, and also in planning out the project timetable and delivering the result in a much more professional and timely manner. Furthermore, the 3DEXPERIENCE community helps us connect with innovative global companies in EV space to understand, adopt and customise the best practices for EV development.”
“Electric vehicles are ushering in a new era of mobility that is efficient, affordable, clean and sustainable. Bringing this new generation of vehicles onto the road requires new innovators, suppliers and the ecosystem to rethink the way they design, engineer, procure and manufacture. To meet the growing demand, this change needs to happen quickly,” said Deepak NG, Managing Director, India, Dassault Systèmes.
He added, “On World EV Day, we at Dassault Systemes are committed to our goal of shaping the future of sustainable mobility in India, with solutions that will connect multi-disciplinary project managers to engineers leveraging data-driven approach that enables real-time collaboration, improves execution and accelerates innovation.”
Cell Propulsion is a Bengaluru based mobility startup that is developing high-power, high-payload electric CVs and associated solutions. It deploys these vehicles as part of a fully managed solution to accelerate the adoption of electric commercial vehicles by logistics and transportation companies.
