Olectra Adopts Advanced 3DEXPERIENCE Platform to Fast-Track Future Electric Buses and Trucks

Key Highlights

• Olectra Greentech adopts Dassault Systèmes’ 3DEXPERIENCE platform.

• The platform will support the development of electric bus and truck products.

• The system integrates design, simulation, manufacturing, and lifecycle management.

• Olectra aims to reduce development time through virtual validation.

• The company is shifting towards model-based engineering practices.

• Olectra currently has over 3,800 EVs deployed across India.

• The order book of the company exceeds 10,000 electric vehicles.

• Partnership supports development of next-generation EV architectures.

Olectra Greentech has partnered with Dassault Systèmes to adopt the 3DEXPERIENCE platform as part of its digital transformation strategy for electric mobility product development.

The move is aimed at strengthening Olectra’s engineering and manufacturing capabilities as the company expands its electric bus and truck portfolio in India.

What the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform Will Do

Olectra will use Dassault Systèmes’ 3DEXPERIENCE platform to support model-based engineering, virtual validation, and faster product development for its upcoming electric vehicle platforms.

The platform will bring product design, simulation, manufacturing, and lifecycle management into a single collaborative environment. This integrated setup is expected to improve coordination between engineering and manufacturing teams while helping the company align with global OEM development practices.

The companies said the platform will also allow virtual simulation and validation before physical prototypes are built. This can help reduce development costs, improve engineering precision, and shorten product development timelines.

Focus on Electric Bus and Truck Expansion

Olectra said the adoption of the digital engineering platform comes at a time when the company is increasing investments in new electric bus and truck platforms.

The Hyderabad-based EV manufacturer currently has more than 3,800 electric vehicles deployed across India and an order book of over 10,000 vehicles, highlighting the company’s growing presence in the electric commercial vehicle segment.
