Customers need a product that is revolutionary in all sense and at the same time value for money which is our priority."
“Dassault Systèmes’ 3DEXPERIENCE platform on the cloud and brand applications like SOLIDWORKS and CATIA enabled us to work remotely and collaboratively developing a digital mock-up of the complete vehicle with real-time simulation and real-time engagement with the suppliers and manufacturing teams. Furthermore, the community helps us connect with innovative global companies in EV technology to understand, adopt and customise the best practices of EV development."
The company has been innovating the power-train and the software that makes the scooter smart enough than any other electric scooter in the market. The e-scooter will have the largest boot space that the Indian EV industry has ever seen as the e-scooter is built in India from the scratch.
