Future product development must be rethought

Traditional product development is overwhelmed

Incumbent automotive OEMs and suppliers are encountering several challenges in the product development process, in particular rising complexity and costs. The conventional V-model of product development has evolved over time and is currently undergoing major expansion. New approaches, such as Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), transfer of software best practices, virtual development and generative AI are needed to cope with increased complexity, costs, and quality requirements.

  • 0 to 5 years
    years of time to market for the development of an average passenger car today.
  • 0.5 - 1 M EUR

Revolutionize product development with new technologies and methodologies

Cutting-edge development accelerators

Product development is rapidly evolving as industries adopt innovative technologies and methodologies. Future engineering frameworks combine classical engineering views with software and IT practices. Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) ensures consistent system design and facilitates cost-effective and scalable development of product variants. The use of AI and generative AI, as well as high levels of virtualization, accelerates innovation, increases efficiency, enhances data analysis, and enables cost savings. Due to development complexity and talent scarcity, a streamlined organization with the right ecosystem of partners is essential. Engineering skills assessments ensure teams stay at the forefront of technology advancements and efficiently manage targeted development programs.
