#SiemensXcelerator #AtherEnergy #ElectricMobilitySolutions“In the fast-evolving EV industry, speed to market is an important lever to succeed. Siemens’ expanded PLM management enables parallel processing of engineering deliverables, a departure from the sequential approach, thereby reducing the lead time for introducing new products and features.” - Swapnil Jain, Co-founder & CTO at Ather Energy.
February 2024 : Siemens Digital Industries Software has recently announced that Ather Energy, one of India’s foremost electric motorcycle brands, has expanded its adoption of the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio of industry software to help the company reduce its design and engineering cycle time, improve product quality and achieve faster time to market.
Ather Energy was founded in 2013 by Indian institute of Technology (IIT) Madras alumni, Tarun Mehta, and Swapnil Jain. In 2018, it launched India’s first truly intelligent electric scooter - Ather 450, followed by the new flagship offering Ather 450X in 2020, the 450S in 2023 and Ather’s special edition scooter, the Ather 450 Apex in January 2024.
Ather has also installed a comprehensive public charging network, Ather Grid, designed and built in India. With 1600+ charging points across India, Ather Grid is one of the country’s largest fast-charging networks for electric scooters. The company currently has 175+ Experience Centres across India and plans to add a total of 250 outlets by March 2024. Ather recently forayed into the international market with two Experience Centers in Nepal.
