"DSD's expertise in powertrain systems perfectly complements our existing capabilities, and their presence in the EMEA region has been instrumental in driving our growth here. Together, we are well-positioned to lead the global shift towards a cleaner transportation landscape." - Shankar V., EMEA Regional Head, Hinduja Tech

September 2024 : Drive System Design (DSD), a leading engineering consultancy and a key subsidiary of Hinduja Tech acquired in December 2022, is poised to showcase its latest advancements in electrified propulsion systems at IAA Transportation 2024, to be held in Hannover, Germany, from September 17-22, 2024.

DSD's core competencies lie in systems integration, system attribute optimization, performance enhancement, and development testing. By leveraging this unique combination of expertise and state-of-the-art testing equipment, DSD delivers innovative and optimized solutions across the entire spectrum.

At IAA Transportation 2024, DSD will be showcasing its cutting-edge solutions at its booth:

• PHEV-DCT Transmission is a marquee project highlighting DSD's ability to optimize PHEV performance by developing a new transmission for a leading European OEM. In addition to maximizing fuel efficiency with an ultra-wide ratio dual-clutch architecture, the

• Sustainability enhancement with powder metallurgy: Drive System Design (DSD), with its unique engineering expertise, brings material innovation to industry production, thereby ensuring durability, reliability, and efficiency requirements. By using powder metal on high- volume products, one can achieve cost savings of ~15% and reduce the carbon footprint of the said part by ~40%. Additionally, DSD is driving the adoption of soft magnetic compounds in motor design. This innovative material offers a compelling combination of superior performance and price stability, setting a new standard in the industry.

• Lubrication testing of e-Axle transmission: DSD, through its one-of-a-kind validation process, wherein physical validation was used in combination with virtual validation via CAE tools, was able to left-shift the design program for a leading automotive manufacturer. The design performance was evaluated for all possible driving scenarios to ensure efficiency and durability.

• Open Platform Inverter (OPI) SiC: This is a powerful and versatile inverter hardware and open software platform for motor components and motor control IP development.

"The acquisition of DSD in 2022 marked a significant milestone for Hinduja Tech," said Shankar V., EMEA Regional Head, Hinduja Tech. "DSD's expertise in powertrain systems perfectly complements our existing capabilities, and their presence in the EMEA region has been instrumental in driving our growth here. Together, we are well-positioned to lead the global shift towards a cleaner transportation landscape."

"As a leading force in drivetrain systems, attributes optimization, and performance enhancement of propulsion system development, DSD is committed to collaborating with industry leaders to accelerate their efficiency improvement programs," added Mark Findlay, CEO, Drive System Design. "We invite journalists and industry professionals to visit our booth at Hall H23, stand C32 at IAA Transportation 2024 to explore how DSD's innovative engineering solutions can help them achieve their clean transportation goals."
