How Can the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform Revolutionize Vehicle Development for Dassault Systèmes and Volkswagen Group?

Dassault Systèmes and Volkswagen Group have announced a groundbreaking long-term partnership aimed at revolutionizing Volkswagen Group’s digital infrastructure for cutting-edge vehicle development. This collaboration will see the implementation of Dassault Systèmes’ 3DEXPERIENCE platform.

Volkswagen Group has selected the 3DEXPERIENCE platform on the cloud as its primary engineering and manufacturing tool. This innovative platform will be utilized by engineers, designers, and other professionals across the Volkswagen, Audi, and Porsche brands. By leveraging virtual twins, these teams will be able to streamline vehicle development processes. This approach allows for the simulation, testing, and refinement of every aspect of vehicle development in a collaborative virtual environment before physical production begins, ensuring compliance with global regulations and sustainability standards.

“We are advancing the development of our next-generation IT system landscape, and the decision to partner with Dassault Systèmes marks an important milestone,” said Hauke Stars, Board Member at Volkswagen Group for IT. “With consistent data streams and AI solutions built on them, we are creating a true technological leap for our teams in development and factory planning. At the same time, we are sustainably reducing IT costs and accelerating processes by streamlining our system complexity and utilizing virtual twins.”

Pascal Daloz, CEO of Dassault Systèmes, added, “Industry evolutions in the context of the Generative Economy are compelling automotive companies to make transformative decisions that will propel the vehicle experience to new heights. After four decades of partnership rooted in innovation and trust, we’re now embarking on the next chapter with Volkswagen Group with the 3DEXPERIENCE platform at its core. Our AI-powered virtual twins and the strength and resilience of the cloud will unify Volkswagen Group’s hardware and software innovation and unleash the knowledge and know-how to accelerate its software-driven transformation.”
