Tata Elxsi, the software-focused subsidiary of Indian giant Tata, and Japanese chipmaker Renesas Electronics Corporation have built a new EV innovation centre in Bangalore.
The centre, which opened in January, will focus on targeted solutions for electric vehicles.
The move comes on the rapid expansion in EV adoption around the world – particularly the burgeoning two-wheel and light EV sector in Asia.
The two companies will bring together their expertise, intellectual property, and assets to the EV centre to create a range of EV subsystems including battery management systems and motor control units.
‘’We are excited to continue our collaboration with Renesas, a market leader in semiconductors for integrated, sophisticated and reliable solutions for the Electrification domain,” says Shaju S, Vice President and Head of Transportation, Tata Elxsi.
“Electric vehicles are revolutionizing not only the traditional automotive market but also the mobility and energy ecosystems as a whole. Our customers will undoubtedly benefit from the proven chipsets and support system of Renesas as it will definitely help us in developing cutting edge and futuristic solutions which the industry demands.
“Markets like India are especially sensitive to cost, and these solutions will help cut down product development risks, costs and greatly improve time-to-market. In addition, we also bring industry-proven solutions and services for productization, testing, calibration and downstream integration, which will benefit customers in rapid NPI and time-to-market. These include eMobility HILS for validation and AUTOSAR suite 4.2.2 and 4.3 for software integration.”
Taizo Hayashi, Vice President of Automotive New Business Creation Division, Renesas, adds:
‘’This collaboration demonstrates our commitment to support the ‘Make in India’ government initiative and we look forward to generating future business growth in India. The NEVIC Solution Center will be a turning point as OEMs and Tier 1s will now have access to secure system solutions and can leverage Tata Elxsi’s Electrification expertise for use case specific customizations.”
