Renesas Of Japan And Tata Elxsi Of India Partner To Set Up Electric Vehicle Design Centre




Renesas Of Japan And Tata Elxsi Of India Partner To Set Up Electric Vehicle Design Centre
Tata Elxsi Ltd of India has partnered with Renesas Electronics Corp of Japan to establish a design centre in India for the development of electric vehicle (EV) technology, as the Indian EV industry continues to grow, according to Renesas.
 
The new design centre in Bangalore will serve as a new nexus for the two firms, where crucial EV technologies like as motor control units and battery management systems will be created.
 
Renesas Electronics will work hard to develop realistic solutions for the EV industry, with the goal of spreading the benefits of the cooperation throughout the world in the future.
 
In January of this year, the Bangalore-based Next Generation EV Innovation Center (NEVIC) opened its doors.
 
Tata Elxsi provides design and technology services, whereas Renesas Electronics provides sophisticated semiconductor solutions.
 
All throughout the world, electric vehicles have become a cornerstone of the new transportation paradigm. Certain segments, such as two-wheel and light electric cars, are rapidly gaining popularity, especially in emerging countries like India, where these vehicles may be used for a number of reasons, according to the firms.
 
The adoption of solutions that may provide crucial building blocks for scalability and reusability while providing stable performance and allowing for technical flexibility is critical. These technologies will enable OEMs and suppliers to produce quick-to-market solutions as well as a varied portfolio of goods and variants.
 
By contributing their extensive domain knowledge, intellectual property, and assets to the NEVIC, Tata Elxsi and Renesas will collaborate to produce reference designs and solution accelerators for important EV subsystems like Battery Management Systems and Motor Control Units, among others. With the electric vehicle market, particularly the Light EV category, at a crossroads, the companies intend to provide crucial enablers for the market, starting in India and expanding globally, to save time and money during development.
 
“We are excited to continue our collaboration with Renesas, a market leader in semiconductors for integrated, sophisticated and reliable solutions for the Electrification domain,” said S. Shaju, Vice President and Head of Transportation, Tata Elxsi.
 
“Electric vehicles are revolutionizing not only the traditional automotive market but also the mobility and energy ecosystems as a whole. Our customers will undoubtedly benefit from the proven chipsets and support system of Renesas as it will definitely help us in developing cutting edge and futuristic solutions which the industry demands,” Shaju added.
 
These technologies will help minimise product development risks, costs, and considerably enhance time-to-market in price-sensitive regions like India, he added.
 
Furthermore, we provide industry-proven solutions and services for productization, testing, calibration, and downstream integration, all of which will help companies achieve faster NPI and time-to-market. Validation is handled by eMobility HILS, and software integration is handled using AUTOSAR suite 4.2.2 and 4.3.
 
“This collaboration demonstrates our commitment to support the ‘Make in India’ government initiative and we look forward to generating future business growth in India. The NEVIC Solution Center will be a turning point as OEMs and Tier 1s will now have access to secure system solutions and can leverage Tata Elxsi’s Electrification expertise for use case specific customizations,” said said Taizo Hayashi, Vice President of Automotive New Business Creation Division, Renesas.
