Noida: Indian IT giant HCLTech has secured a high-profile automotive engineering partnership with Germany based e.solutions, the company said in a press release. A part of the Volkswagen group, e.solutions offers next-generation software-defined infotainment and connectivity solutions to its clients.
With car values now being defined by its digital features and AI capabilities rather than its mechanical horsepower, such systems offer automakers an edge in the market. For HCLTech, this partnership shows that it remains capable of executing high-end, high-complexity engineering research and development (ER&D) deals despite challenges with automation and AI.
As part of the engagement, HCLTech will help e.solutions scale its AI-enabled infotainment and connectivity platforms built on the Audroid Automotive, as demand for connected, digital in-vehicle experiences explodes. HCLTech will help develop, integrate and validate the production-grade human machine interface (HMI) software, enabling consistent deployment across varied hardware platforms and global markets.
“At e.solutions, we are continuously pushing the boundaries of connected mobility and digital cockpit innovation. Our partnership with HCLTech enables us to scale HMI software development across diverse vehicle programs while maintaining the highest standards of quality, consistency, and user experience. Together, we are building the foundation for the next generation of software-defined mobility,” Uwe Reder, CEO, e.solutions said.
“By combining AI-driven engineering and a deep understanding of the automotive sector, we will empower e.solutions to accelerate and develop world-class infotainment platforms. The partnership underscores our long-term commitment to the automotive ecosystem and the ability to support complex engineering programs at scale across international markets,” Pankaj Tagra, Chief Growth Officer and Global Head, Mobility at HCLTech, added.
