Are you 3DEXPERIENCE ready?
Marking a significant milestone in the transportation and mobility industry, Volvo Cars is investing in cutting-edge digital engineering technology to accelerate its evolution into a fully electric automotive company.
Volvo Cars has chosen to expand its use of Dassault Systèmes solutions, migrating from CATIA V5 to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. This transition will enable Volvo engineers to streamline collaboration across global teams, optimize part reuse, enhance product quality, and reduce lead times; all critical factors in the EV market.
For suppliers, this shift presents both a challenge and an opportunity. The question is: are you ready to adapt and thrive in this new environment?
What does this mean for automotive suppliers?
As a supplier in Volvo’s ecosystem - or any other major OEM’s supply chain - you are likely wondering how this transition will impact your business. The move to 3DEXPERIENCE isn’t just about Volvo; it’s about creating a more integrated, efficient supply chain where collaboration is key. Here’s how early adoption of the 3DEXPERIENCE platform can benefit your business:

Integrate with OEMs
Adopt early to ensure that processes align with the OEM's new platform, simplifying collaboration and reducing potential disruptions.

Efficient workflows
Digital tools like simulation-driven design and digital twins allow suppliers to accelerate decision-making, reduce errors, and save costs.

Time-to-market
Use advanced technologies to streamline processes, accelerate product development cycles, and ensure you meet deadlines.

OEM relationships
Adopting the OEM's platform demonstrates a commitment to collaboration, helping you to secure long-term business opportunities.
