- The strategic partnership will develop BMW Group’s future engineering platform with Dassault Systèmes’ 3DEXPERIENCE Platform at its core.
- More than 17,000 users will work globally on a virtual twin of a vehicle that can be configured for each model variant with consistent real-time data.
- The partnership marks the next step in the long history of collaboration between the two companies that has shaped automotive industrial innovation for decades.
Dassault Systèmes (Euronext Paris: FR0014003TT8, DSY.PA) and BMW Group today initiated a long-term strategic partnership to develop BMW Group’s future engineering platform with Dassault Systèmes’ 3DEXPERIENCE Platform at its core. More than 17,000 employees across multiple engineering disciplines at the premium automaker will rely on the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform to accelerate the development of all vehicles, from concept to production.
In an industry where the time to market for sustainable mobility solutions with advanced technology is a competitive differentiator, the partnership between Dassault Systèmes and BMW Group underscores the fundamental role of the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform in enabling companies to deliver products faster. The platform’s virtual twin experiences streamline collaboration across the enterprise and provide data-driven approaches to manage the exponential complexity that automakers face in engineering connected and autonomous vehicles.
“We will only optimize our engineering process if we think digitally, work in a connected way, and rely on integrated data. For BMW Group, the 3DEXPERIENCE platform will support this approach and help us achieve a higher level of quality in our processes,” said Julien Hohenstein, Vice President of Processes, Digitalization, Governance from Idea to Offer in BMW Group R&D.
With the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform at the core of BMW Group’s future product development environment, all BMW engineering disciplines will work on a virtual twin of a vehicle that can be configured for each model variant with integrated real-time data. Teams can more easily reuse components, manage the complexity of vehicle variability, and improve the engineering-to-manufacturing cycle time. In addition, BMW Group can seamlessly migrate data from its existing IT solutions and extend its engineering platform to other disciplines such as modeling and simulation.
The strategic partnership between Dassault Systèmes and BMW Group marks the next phase in their long-standing collaboration. For decades, the two companies have shared knowledge and expertise to advance technological innovation in areas such as production planning and scheduling, parts design, and manufacturing efficiency.
“BMW Group and Dassault Systèmes are technology-driven companies entering a new era of shared innovation to deliver first-class products,” said Laurence Montanari, Vice President of the Transportation & Mobility Industry at Dassault Systèmes. “With the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, BMW Group can rethink its engineering development process to deliver more personalized and sustainable experiences to its customers.”
