Case Study: TRAKKA halves time-to-market and doubles product offering with SOLIDWORKS

Revving up motorhome / special-purpose vehicle development with SOLIDWORKS® Professional

TRAKKA, a leading Australian motorhome and special-purpose vehicle manufacturer, faced an unwieldy, manual in-vehicle development process that relied on physical measurements, multiple prototype cycles, and waiting for new vehicle releases. To support faster development and growth, TRAKKA evaluated 3D CAD systems and implemented SOLIDWORKS Professional to move from hands‑on fabrication to a streamlined, production-based CAD workflow.

Using SOLIDWORKS Professional, TRAKKA halved its time-to-market, doubled its product offering, and virtually eliminated multiple prototyping cycles by producing a single preproduction model, enabling a 30% expansion in production floor space and improved manufacturing accuracy and product quality. SOLIDWORKS tools (including PhotoView 360 and SOLIDWORKS Visualize) also allowed TRAKKA to leverage OEM vehicle CAD data sooner, reduce prototyping costs, and create photorealistic renderings for customer communication and marketing.
