​With the increasing demand for software-based design, manufacturing units, and product lifecycle management in the electric mobility industry, EV manufacturers are increasingly adopting advanced digital engineering tools such as Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) and Computer-Aided Design (CAD) to accelerate product development with the highest precision in design and also make the manufacturing process more effective.
These technologies enable engineers to manage complex systems like electric powertrains, batteries, electronics, and software through an interconnected digital engineering workflow. To meet these criteria and stand out in the competitive electric mobility market, Bengaluru-based EV manufacturer Simple Energy has enhanced its digital engineering setup with Siemens PLM technology to support faster product development and efficient manufacturing.
Simple Energy has made partnership with Siemens Digital Industries software and will be using Siemens’ cloud-based Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) software platform Teamcenter X, to facilitate collaboration among engineering team and establishes a connected digital workflow across the product lifecycle.
Simple Energy’s collaboration with Siemens demonstrates how India’s EV startups can adopt cloud-powered engineering and PLM tools to build structured digital workflows. Simple Energy’s current on-going projects ​include the Simple One, OneS and Ultra electric scooters which offer a combination of modern design, connected features, performance and electric powertrain technology.
The adoption of Siemens Teamcenter X by Simple Energy reflects the broader shift toward digital product development. It symbolizes the overall trend towards digital product development in the Indian EV industry. It shows how technologies such as connected engineering tools, cloud PLM, and simulation-driven design (SDD) will be critical to development and supporting the next generation development of electric mobility.
