Automakers are in a race to achieve sustainable mobility and meet "zero emission" targets in development and engineering. Virtual simulation is a powerful tool that enables automakers to reduce the carbon footprint of vehicles and development practices in order to achieve sustainability Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). The use of virtual simulation also contributes to the realization of "vision zero", a world with zero traffic fatalities. By harnessing the digital thread and accelerating digital transformation with Industry 5.0 and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) applications, automakers can achieve the right balance between accuracy and time-to-market, delivering innovative products at a manageable cost and risk.
How is virtual prototyping enabling sustainable engineering to accelerate our journey to a cleaner, greener, safer future?
Driven by environmental concerns, government regulations, consumer demand, technological advancements, and corporate responsibility to meet their zero emissions, zero waste, and zero accidents goals, automakers worldwide are placing sustainability at the top of their agenda.
