Case Study: Ashok Leyland accelerates modular vehicle development with Dassault Systèmes 3DEXPERIENCE

ASHOK LEYLAND

Ashok Leyland, India's second-largest commercial vehicle manufacturer, faced the challenge of accelerating product development to meet increasing customer demands and market fluctuations while managing the complexity of producing numerous vehicle variants. To address this, they chose Dassault Systèmes and its 3DEXPERIENCE platform to support a new modular approach to vehicle design.

By implementing Dassault Systèmes' industry solution experiences, including Target Zero Defect and Modular, Glocal & Secure, Ashok Leyland significantly reduced its development cycle time from 2-3 years to approximately 1.5 years. The platform's configuration management features helped increase product diversity while decreasing the number of managed parts, enabling faster delivery of zero-defect products. Additional benefits included streamlined collaboration across development centers, a centralized single source of truth for data, and a reduced reliance on costly physical prototypes through robust digital simulation.
