The transformation of the automotive industry toward electric mobility is gaining rapid momentum. In 2023 alone, more than 590 electric vehicle models were available worldwide—a figure expected to grow to around 1,000 by 2028. As competition intensifies, both established OEMs and new entrants face significant pressure to innovate faster and scale efficiently.
Traditional automakers are undergoing a fundamental transition from internal combustion engines to electric drivetrains—while managing decades-old infrastructures and processes. At the same time, they must secure massive investments, with global spending on EVs, batteries, and raw materials projected to reach $1.2 trillion by 2030.
Startups, on the other hand, benefit from agility and the absence of legacy systems. However, they face their own challenges—particularly when it comes to scaling up production and building robust supply chains.
For both sides, one thing is clear: accelerating development cycles is critical to staying competitive.
Digital platforms are becoming a key enabler in this transformation. Solutions like Dassault Systèmes’ 3DEXPERIENCE platform provide an end-to-end environment that supports the entire vehicle lifecycle—from concept to production.
Three core capabilities stand out:
The use of virtual twin technology allows engineers to design, simulate, and validate vehicles entirely in a digital environment. Multiple “what-if” scenarios can be tested, enabling faster optimization of BEV and PHEV architectures while identifying potential issues early.
This approach significantly reduces the need for physical prototypes, lowers costs, and shortens development timelines. It also unlocks new opportunities in battery innovation—improving charging speed, energy efficiency, and overall performance.
Modern electric vehicles are highly complex, often described as “systems of systems”—especially in the era of the software-defined vehicle (SDV). An integrated platform enables seamless collaboration across teams and ensures that all subsystems work together as intended.
By eliminating data silos and enabling real-time collaboration, companies can accelerate iterations, reduce errors, and improve overall development efficiency.
Speed is becoming a decisive factor in EV development. A modular approach—where chassis, powertrain, and battery systems are developed in parallel—significantly shortens time-to-market.
Multiphysics simulation further enhances this process by optimizing aerodynamics, structural integrity, and charging infrastructure without relying on time-consuming physical testing. In manufacturing and supply chain operations, simulation helps streamline processes, reduce waste, and lower CO₂ emissions.
At the same time, battery pack and module design can be optimized for range, charging time, and energy density—paving the way for next-generation battery technologies.
Beyond development, digital platforms also support product lifecycle assessment, helping companies align business objectives with environmental regulations and sustainability goals.
The takeaway is clear: electrification is no longer just about technology—it’s about speed, efficiency, and digital capability. Companies that master these dimensions will lead the next era of mobility.
