Olectra Greentech Limited, India’s leading electric bus manufacturer, and Dassault Systèmes have announced that Olectra will adopt Dassault Systèmes’ 3DEXPERIENCE platform. This is an important step towards building a globally benchmarked, digitally integrated product development ecosystem for electric mobility.
Olectra’s decision reflects the shared vision to accelerate innovation in the electric vehicle (EV) sector by leveraging advanced digital technologies. Combining Olectra’s leadership in electric mobility and Dassault Systèmes’ expertise in virtual twin and platform-based engineering, the two companies aim to redefine how electric vehicles are designed, developed and delivered at scale.
The 3DEXPERIENCE platform connects people, data, design, simulation and manufacturing into an integrated, collaborative environment, enabling a real-time, end-to-end view of the entire product lifecycle. Through this adoption, Olectra will transition to a model-based, platform-based approach to product development in line with global OEM standards.
As part of this partnership, Olectra will unlock:
● A completely digital, model-based product development approach
● Seamless collaboration between engineering, manufacturing and ecosystem partners
● Virtual simulation and validation before physical prototyping
● Accelerated innovation cycles and reduced time to market
● Enhanced scalability for future mobility platforms
The collaboration underpins a broader industry shift from traditional, component-level engineering to system-level digital orchestration, enabling companies to operate with greater agility, precision and innovation velocity.
Mahesh Babu, Managing Director, Olektra Greentech Limited, said, “At Olektra, we see the future of mobility being shaped by electrification and digital engineering. As part of our commitment to transform mobility through accessible innovation and a practical future, we are making significant investments in developing new bus and truck platforms. Our collaboration with Dassault Systèmes and adoption of the 3DEXPERIENCE platform will play a key role in making these compliant with global standards and aligning with global benchmarks This enables us to move faster, design better and deliver with world-class precision, as India accelerates its EV transformation, we are focused on leading in both deployment and engineering excellence.”
Deepak Ng, Managing Director, India, Dassault Systèmes, said, “At Dassault Systèmes, we believe that the next era of mobility will continue to be engineered in the virtual world before it hits the roads. Our collaboration with Olectra reflects a visionary shift towards integrated, platform-driven innovation, enabling faster, smarter and more sustainable electric vehicle development. Together, we aim to drive the transformation of India’s mobility ecosystem through virtual twin experiences and next-generation engineering. To strengthen. Practice.”
Globally, leading automotive and mobility companies are adopting platform-based engineering environments to standardize development, reduce complexity, and enable next-generation vehicle architectures. This collaboration places both Olectra and Dassault Systèmes at the forefront of this transformation, driving innovation, scalability and sustainable growth in the EV sector in India.
By embedding the 3DEXPERIENCE platform at the core of its engineering ecosystem and through close collaboration with Dassault Systèmes, Olectra aims to enhance its digital capabilities and set new standards for conceptualizing, engineering and bringing to market electric vehicles.
