The acquisition strengthens Hinduja Tech’s position in full-vehicle design and development by allowing it to offer end-to-end electrified propulsion system design and development capabilities.
“The purchase of Drive System Design marks a significant turning point in Hinduja Tech’s development in the eMobility sector. Since its inception more than 15 years ago, DSD has concentrated on cutting-edge powertrain technology (ePT), and it has cutting-edge infrastructure in the UK and the US “said Hinduja Tech CEO Kumar Prabhas. “High-end engineering talent is present in both of these markets, which are driving the transition to electric mobility. The combined strengths of HT and DSD will make it possible to provide the best eMobility solutions for international markets as this demand rises.”
With more than 70 clients worldwide, HT has been steadily strengthening its position in the market for outsourced engineering services. It now plans to speed up this expansion to meet the growing demand for electric mobility. With the acquisition of DSD, HT will gain access to state-of-the-art design and testing facilities as well as highly developed engineering capabilities in the UK and the US.
According to Mark Findlay, CEO of Drive System Design, “We believe that HT is the right partner at the right time and see this as a tremendous opportunity for the long-term future and expanded capabilities of DSD.” “DSD will be able to broaden its reach as a member of the HT family thanks to HT’s global business model and comprehensive vehicle development and integration expertise. The advanced engineering capabilities of DSD in transmission, driveline, motor design, power electronics, and simulation are the perfect match for it.”
