At a time when green mobility is gaining traction, Suzuki Motor Corp and Tata Elxsi have joined hands to set up a new offshore development centre in India to drive sustainability and future-ready automotive innovations.
Tata-owned Tata Elxsi provides design and technology services to industries including automotive, media and telecom, healthcare and transportation. The dedicated centre that has been opened in Pune by Tata Elxsi and Suzuki will drive the Japanese automotive major's innovations in advanced engineering, the companies said on Monday.
"As the industry progresses in connected, autonomous, shared, and electric technologies, Suzuki must accelerate electronic and virtual development to meet evolving demands. Tata Elxsi’s expertise in advanced computing, simulation, and design digital makes them an ideal partner in bringing forward-thinking solutions to market," said Katsuhiro Kato, the chief technology officer of Suzuki Motor.
Tata Elxsi will support Suzuki in its green mobility vision by aligning with Suzuki’s goals for sustainable innovation in lightweight design, safety, styling and engineering, eco-friendly materials, and advanced simulations to improve time-to-market, the companies said.
The partnership will also focus on next-generation powertrains and software-defined vehicles, fostering energy-efficient solutions for electric, hybrid, and alternative fuel vehicles.
Tata Elxsi’s design-led, digital-first approach was uniquely positioned to support Suzuki’s energy minimisation and sustainability goals, advancing the future of automotive engineering with precision and responsibility, said Manoj Raghavan, MD and CEO of Tata Elxsi.
In the backdrop of the partnership, Tata Elxsi shares closed 1.5 per cent higher on Monday at Rs 6,460.75, even as the broader BSE Sensex ended 241 points or 0.3 per cent lower at 77,339.01 level.
