Siemens Digital Industries Software announced that Ather Energy, one of India’s foremost electric motorcycle brands, has expanded its adoption of the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio of industry software to help the company reduce its design and engineering cycle time, improve product quality and achieve faster time to market.
Ather Energy was founded in 2013 by Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Madras alumni, Tarun Mehta, and Swapnil Jain. In 2018, it launched India’s first truly intelligent electric scooter - Ather 450, followed by the new flagship offering Ather 450X in 2020, the 450S in 2023 and Ather’s special edition scooter, the Ather 450 Apex in January 2024.
Ather has also installed a comprehensive public charging network, Ather Grid, designed and built in India. With 1600+ charging points across India, Ather Grid is one of the country’s largest fast-charging networks for electric scooters. The company currently has 175+ Experience Centers across India and plans to add a total of 250 outlets by March 2024. Ather recently forayed into the international market with two Experience Centers in Nepal.
Ather Energy adopted Siemens’ Teamcenter® software for Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) in 2018 to help it achieve its critical key performance indicators (KPIs) including faster time to market, reducing its design and engineering cycle time with the removal of design iterations and adopting a right-first-time approach. Since then, the Ather Energy team has also taken advantage of Simcenter™ STAR-CCM+ software for Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Simcenter™ physical testing solutions to help with its in-house testing regime for durability and noise, vibration and harness (NVH). Most recently, the Ather Energy vehicle engineering team has moved to Siemens’ NX™ software for new product development and engineering from its legacy system for all existing and new vehicle platforms.
