Our Core Areas of Digital
Product Engineering

Creating Tomorrow’s Mobility with Virtual Precision & Real-World Rigor

Our Digital Product Engineering hub supports BMW’s R&D with simulation, CAD expertise, digital twins, and AI-driven automation, delivering vehicles that exceed expectations in safety, durability, comfort, efficiency, and performance.

Virtual Validation

We perform full-vehicle, sub-system, and component-level simulations to meet global performance and regulatory requirements in: Crash & Safety, Noise Vibration & Harshness (NVH), Durability & Fatigue, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Multi-Body Dynamics (MBD), to ensure meeting regulation requirements worldwide.

Geometry, Concepts & CAD

Using cutting-edge tools, we develop high-precision CAD models across key mechanical domains: Geometrical Integration, Design of BIW, Exterior, Interior, Chassis and Powertrain.

Digital Twin & Product Data

We build high-fidelity digital twins that combine real-time test data with live design updates, providing a single source of truth across the vehicle lifecycle and enabling data-driven decision-making at every stage.

Methods, Tools and Programming

We implement AI/ML-driven automation and advanced scripting to: data analysis and product data creation. Develop industry-first methods that enhance design, performance, and customer satisfaction.

Compliance & Regulatory Readiness

We integrate safety, sustainability, and emissions regulations
from the earliest design phases, ensuring global readiness without retrofits or delays. Every product is built to meet or exceed international compliance standards.
