For many of the global OEMs, outside their home-country India has become the location of choice for engineering and manufacturing.

The indigenous OEMs are making strong strides towards developing world-class products to compete in the domestic market and also access the global markets.

The Indian suppliers’ eco-system has demonstrated strong aspirations to transform themselves into global players and many of them have demonstrated significant success.

Consumer preferences have evolved significantly and today’s consumer is looking not just at functionality and convenience but also comfort, safety, connectivity and a host of creature comforts. This creates the need for various aspects of engineering to come together seamlessly to provide the consumer with a product of his choice.

Government regulatory requirements have driven a technology shift in the industry towards lowering emissions (BS VI), and improved occupant and pedestrian safety. This has led to a strong mandate for the automotive industry to re-engineer and introduce new products.

Technology changes have been evolving rapidly in the last few years. Environmental concerns have steered the wheel towards adopting and developing Electric Vehicles & Alternate Fuel Vehicles. Most of the global automotive giants have been making significant investments in these technologies and going forward the market share for these newer innovative technologies is only going to increase further.

With sophistication and advancement of technology and increased competition, comes the challenge to control the cost and reduce lead time, without compromising on the quality or the overall consumer experience.

Ever since its inception over two and half decades ago, SOLIZE India has supported the automotive industry to transform itself from “a print-to-part” to a “concept-to-product” industry. SOLIZE India works with OEMs and the supplier eco-system providing advanced engineering software solutions to overcome these challenges.
