The U.S.-based electric vehicle manufacturer Harbinger has successfully adopted the 3DEXPERIENCE platform to lead innovation in medium-duty truck electrification. By focusing on the development of a unique chassis for Class 4 to Class 7 electric vehicles, Harbinger aims to transform driving experience and efficiency in last-mile delivery.
Below is a summary of the key benefits achieved by the Harbinger team:
1. End-to-end development:
Harbinger built all components in-house, from the chassis to the battery system and powertrain.
2. Ground-up approach:
They designed an electric chassis from scratch, moving away from adapting internal combustion engine vehicles.
3. Chassis scalability:
They used the 3DEXPERIENCE platform to develop a scalable chassis that enhances driver experience and reduces operating costs.
4. Vertical integration:
They adopted a vertically integrated strategy to maintain competitive costs without compromising performance, efficiency, or durability.
5. Centralized data management:
The 3DEXPERIENCE Platform enables centralized data management and collaborative functions across all aspects of the vehicle lifecycle.
6. Transparency and connectivity:
ENOVIA, powered by 3DEXPERIENCE, enables a unified and collaborative change process, essential for team coordination and real-time decision-making.
7. Affordable access:
Harbinger leveraged the 3DEXPERIENCE for Startups program to gain affordable and scalable access to the full suite of cloud applications.
8. Design innovation:
Design features include a double wishbone front suspension and tightly integrated powertrain, improving driver visibility and efficiency.
9. Production efficiency:
The 3DEXPERIENCE Platform streamlines the transition from engineering to production, accelerating processes with a leaner team.
10. Platform future:
Harbinger plans to expand its use of the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform, incorporating DELMIA capabilities for manufacturing and assembly planning.
Conclusion:
By fully leveraging the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform, Harbinger has not only transformed the design of medium-duty electric vehicles but also laid the foundation for efficient, sustainable, and performance-driven manufacturing.
