Tata Technologies has announced a partnership with Synopsys, a provider of engineering solutions, to accelerate the shift towards Software-Defined Mobility (SDV). The collaboration aims to accelerate the development, verification and validation of automotive electronics systems, helping Original Equipment Manufacturers address the complexity of SDVs.

The collaboration will combine Tata Technologies’ expertise in vehicle engineering with Synopsys’ virtualisation solutions to enable the deployment of electronics digital twins (eDTs).

The companies have already worked with a leading European luxury OEM in a pilot engagement, delivering a blueprint to transition the manufacturer's existing electrical/electronic (E/E) architecture to a next-generation software-defined design. Pilot programmes with other major OEMs are also underway across North America, Europe and India.

The joint effort will focus on major SDV domains, including ADAS, powertrain, chassis, infotainment and electrification. Key areas of focus include:

• Shift Left Enablement: Developing virtual prototypes and simulation models for early software bring-up.
• Analysis: Using Synopsys tools for performance, power, safety, and reliability analysis for faster ECU development cycles.
• Verification: Providing embedded systems and software verification and validation services aligned with ISO 26262 and ASPICE standards.

Sriram Lakshminarayanan, Chief Technology Officer, Tata Technologies, said, “The digital shift is redefining the future of mobility, and our partnership with Synopsys is a purposeful step towards realising a future led by software-defined innovations. As OEMs move to new ways of working, there is a growing demand for engineering and digital services. Together, we are empowering OEMs to deliver safer, smarter, and more sustainable vehicles that enhance the human experience and accelerate the industry’s transition to a software-defined future.”

Tom De Schutter, Senior Vice-President, Product Management & Markets Group at Synopsys, said, "The complexity of SDV systems requires a new level of collaboration across the automotive ecosystem. By bringing together our world-class digital twin, verification, and IP platforms with Tata Technologies’ engineering expertise and global delivery, we are enabling OEMs to accelerate development, validation and delivery of complex software- and AI-defined vehicles. The collaboration is a great example of how the automotive ecosystem is coming together to accelerate innovation while reducing risk and time to market in a dynamic mobility landscape.”

Tier 1 supplier Mahle is entering the stationary battery storage systems (BESS) market after securing its first series order for a cooling module. These storage solutions are used for providing and stabilising power grids and for the temporary storage of renewable energy from sources like wind and solar power.

The company shared that its customer is an international commercial vehicles and drivetrain manufacturer that builds its own battery storage systems. Mahle will leverage its experience in developing cooling modules for electrified buses for this new sector. The newly developed cooling module will go into series production in 2026.

Christian Kuechlin, Vice-President, Mahle Industrial Thermal Systems, said, “We can easily transfer the knowledge of cooling modules we have gathered in the transportation sector to stationary battery storage system in containers. Since the space in the container is mainly to be used for battery stacks, Mahle develops space saving, compact and efficient cooling solutions in line with customer requirements.”

Older stationary BESS were cooled by simple air conditioning systems. However, the higher energy density in modern lithium-ion batteries generates more waste heat, requiring a higher cooling capacity.

The Mahle module provides up to 42 kW of liquid cooling. This ensures the batteries operate in the optimal temperature range of 20deg Celsius to 30deg Celsius, which is vital for long service life, durability and stable load management.

Mahle is expanding its business beyond the automotive sector. In industrial thermal management, the company is also developing modules for liquid-cooled cables in fast-charging stations for electric vehicles. Thermal management technologies can also benefit high-performance computing, data centres and manufacturers of heat pumps or photovoltaic systems.
