Tata Technologies, a global leader in product engineering and digital services, has announced a strategic partnership with Synopsys, a top provider of engineering solutions spanning from silicon to systems. The collaboration aims to speed up the transition to software-defined mobility. By combining their strengths, the two companies plan to deliver cutting-edge solutions that tackle the challenges of Software-Defined Vehicles (SDVs) and help automotive manufacturers take the lead in an evolving mobility landscape.
The collaboration aims to empower automotive manufacturers to tackle the complexities of next-generation mobility by combining Tata Technologies’ deep domain expertise in vehicle engineering with Synopsys’ industry-leading virtualization solutions enabling the deployment of electronics digital twins (eDTs). The companies have already started engaging collaboratively with a leading European OEM to deliver business value. The team developed an advanced solution blueprint to transition from the existing E/E architecture to a next-generation software-defined design. Pilot programs with other major OEMs are also underway in North America, Europe, and India.
Commenting on the collaboration, Sriram Lakshminarayanan, Chief Technology Officer at Tata Technologies, said, “The digital shift is redefining the future of mobility, and our partnership with Synopsys is a purposeful step towards realising a future led by software-defined innovations. As OEMs move to new ways of working, there is a growing demand for engineering and digital services. Together, we are empowering OEMs to deliver safer, smarter, and more sustainable vehicles that enhance the human experience and accelerate the industry’s transition to a software-defined future.”
“The complexity of SDV systems requires a new level of collaboration across the automotive ecosystem. By bringing together our world-class digital twin, verification, and IP platforms with Tata Technologies’ engineering expertise and global delivery, we are enabling OEMs to accelerate development, validation and delivery of complex software- and AI-defined vehicles. The collaboration is a great example of how the automotive ecosystem is coming together to accelerate innovation while reducing risk and time to market in a dynamic mobility landscape,” said Tom De Schutter, Senior Vice President, Product Management & Markets Group at Synopsys.
The joint effort will span major SDV domains, including ADAS, powertrain, chassis, body, central compute, gateways, infotainment, connectivity, and electrification.
Key areas of focus include:
- Shift left enablement for developing virtual prototypes, simulation models, and electronics digital twins for early software bring-up and other use cases
- Synopsys tools & technologies for performance, power, multiphysics, safety, and reliability analysis for faster ECU development cycles
- Tata Technologies’ embedded systems and software solutions for ECU and E/E architecture development
- Embedded systems and software verification & validation services aligned with ISO 26262 and ASPICE standards
The automotive industry is at a pivotal moment, transitioning to connected, electric, and autonomous vehicles where software and AI define the customer experience. Recognizing these rapid advancements, both parties are committed to leveraging their respective expertise and collaborating to address high-value problems and driving innovation in this sector.
