Olectra Greentech, an electric bus manufacturer, and Dassault Systèmes announced that Olectra will adopt Dassault Systèmes’ 3DEXPERIENCE platform. This marks a significant step toward building a globally benchmarked, digitally integrated product development ecosystem for electric mobility.
Olectra’s decision reflects a shared vision to accelerate innovation in the Electric Vehicle (EV) sector by leveraging advanced digital technologies. By combining Olectra’s leadership in electric mobility and Dassault Systèmes’ expertise in virtual twin and platform-based engineering, both companies aim to redefine how electric vehicles are designed, developed and delivered at scale.
The 3DEXPERIENCE platform connects people, data, design, simulation and manufacturing within a unified, collaborative environment, enabling a real-time, end-to-end view of the entire product lifecycle. Through this adoption, Olectra will transition toward a model-based, platform-led approach to product development aligned with global OEM standards.
As part of this engagement, Olectra Greentech will adopt a fully digital, model-based product development approach aimed at enhancing efficiency and innovation across its operations. The initiative will enable seamless collaboration between engineering teams, manufacturing units, and ecosystem partners while supporting virtual simulation and validation before physical prototyping. This is expected to accelerate innovation cycles, reduce product development timelines, and strengthen scalability for future mobility platforms.
This collaboration underscores 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, Olectra Greentech, 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.”
Globally, leading automotive and mobility companies are adopting platform-based engineering environments to standardise development, reduce complexity and enable next-generation vehicle architectures. This collaboration positions both Olectra and Dassault Systèmes at the forefront of this transformation in India, driving innovation, scalability and sustainable growth in the EV sector.
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 benchmarks for how electric vehicles are conceptualized, engineered, and brought to market.
