Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), is expanding its capabilities in the ‘software-defined vehicles’ (SDV) space with two new ‘automotive delivery centres’ in Germany (Munich and Villingen-Schwenningen) and an engineering centre in Romania.
The centres in Germany will support automotive manufacturers in developing and deploying TCS’s software-driven services that cater to autonomous driving, infotainment, safety systems, and connected vehicle technologies. The engineering centre in Romania will focus on designing and building advanced automotive software platforms to support ‘early-stage development and innovation’.
TCS says this expansion is part of the company’s long-term strategy to strengthen its end-to-end automotive software capabilities, chip-to-cloud technologies and services, adding that the location of these centres will enable ‘close collaboration with leading European OEMs and global automotive enterprises’. The new centres currently house over 100 professionals who will work with more than 2,000 SDV engineers throughout TCS’s global locations.
Regu Ayyaswamy, TCS’s senior vice president and global head of IoT and digital engineering, said: “These new centres will position TCS at the forefront of automotive innovation, enabling us to deliver advanced solutions in autonomous driving and cockpit systems. This expansion reaffirms our commitment to leading the transformation in the ‘software-defined vehicles’ space.
“TCS’s expansion aligns with the global automotive industry’s shift toward software-defined, connected, and autonomous mobility; and as demand grows for intelligent vehicle technologies, TCS is now well-positioned to lead the transformation. Europe is a strategically significant location for TCS due to the presence of numerous leading automotive manufacturers in the region.
“We have been serving automotive customers in Europe for the past 25 years and been delivering innovative solutions in digital cockpit, electrification, autonomous vehicles, and connected car ecosystems through digital engineering, IoT, cloud, and data analytics.”
