Olectra Greentech Limited has announced the adoption of the 3DEXPERIENCE platform developed by Dassault Systèmes as part of its product development and engineering operations for electric mobility. The move is aimed at building a digitally connected product development environment covering design, simulation, engineering, manufacturing, and lifecycle management.
Focus on Model-Based Product Development
According to the companies, the platform will support a model-based approach to vehicle development by connecting engineering teams, manufacturing functions, and external partners through a unified digital system.
The platform is expected to help Olectra implement:
- Digital product development workflows
- Collaboration across engineering and manufacturing teams
- Virtual simulation and validation before physical prototyping
- Faster product development timelines
- Scalable engineering processes for future vehicle platforms
Shift Toward Digital Engineering Systems
The collaboration reflects a wider shift within the automotive and electric mobility industry toward digital engineering platforms that integrate product design, testing, and manufacturing processes.

Platform-based development systems are increasingly being adopted by automotive manufacturers to standardize workflows, manage engineering complexity, and support development of next-generation vehicle architectures.
Digital Integration Across EV Manufacturing
With the integration of the 3DEXPERIENCE platform into its engineering ecosystem, Olectra plans to strengthen digital coordination across different stages of vehicle development and manufacturing. The collaboration will also support virtual testing and system-level engineering processes before vehicles move into physical production stages.
Elctrik Speaks
The adoption of digital engineering platforms is becoming more common among EV manufacturers as vehicle architectures become more software-driven and integrated. For electric bus manufacturers, digital simulation and collaborative engineering systems can help reduce development timelines and improve coordination between design, manufacturing, and supply chain functions.
Mahesh Babu, Managing Director, Olectra Greentech Limited, said, “At Olectra, we see the future of mobility being shaped by electrification and digital engineering. As part of our commitment to transforming mobility through accessible innovation and a pragmatic 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 vital role in building these to global standards and aligning with global benchmarks. This enables us to move faster, design smarter, and deliver with world class precision. As India accelerates its EV transition, we remain focused on leading in both deployment and engineering excellence.”
Deepak NG, Managing Director, India, Dassault Systèmes, added, “At Dassault Systèmes, we believe the next era of mobility will continue to be engineered in the virtual world before it moves on roads. Our collaboration with Olectra reflects a forward-looking shift toward integrated, platform-driven innovation, enabling faster, smarter, and more sustainable electric vehicle development. Together, we aim to strengthen the transformation of India’s mobility ecosystem through virtual twin experiences and next-generation engineering practices.”
