JSW Greentech adopts Siemens Xcelerator for commercial EV development

Application Area: Product Lifecycle Management, Digital Thread Integration
Industry Sector: Commercial Electric Vehicles, Automotive Manufacturing

JSW Greentech Limited, a commercial electric vehicle manufacturer within the JSW Group, is establishing an integrated digital engineering and manufacturing infrastructure to support its AMPSTAR line of electric trucks and buses. Operating from an engineering and research facility in Pune and a greenfield manufacturing plant in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, India, the company is deploying the Siemens Xcelerator digital business portfolio to unify product development across disciplines and accelerate commercial electric vehicle development for the domestic transport sector.

Engineering Fragmentation Across Multidisciplinary Systems
Developing heavy commercial electric vehicles requires continuous synchronization between mechanical chassis structures, high-voltage battery enclosures, power electronics, and embedded control software. Conventional vehicle engineering environments often suffer from disconnected data silos between design teams, external suppliers, and shop-floor production lines. To prevent costly design revisions, inconsistent bills of materials, and extended delivery schedules, JSW Greentech required a single digital backbone capable of governing engineering changes, multi-domain requirements, and enterprise resource planning data across distributed sites.

Integrated Architecture and Enterprise Synchronization
To solve these integration challenges, JSW Greentech selected components from the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio, specifically deploying Teamcenter software for product lifecycle management alongside Mendix low-code technology. Within this digital thread, Teamcenter connects disparate engineering data sources, managing complex vehicle bill-of-materials structures, multi-CAD models, and electrical schematics while governing revision workflows across engineering disciplines. The platform integrates directly with the company's enterprise resource planning system to maintain alignment between design data, inventory, and procurement. A dedicated Mendix-based portal extends the Siemens Xcelerator environment to external suppliers, enabling secure collaboration and real-time tracking across the supply chain.

Operational Traceability and Development Throughput
Sumit Mittal, chief executive officer of JSW Greentech Limited, noted that establishing a digitally connected enterprise from the initial design phase provides an operational foundation for scalable vehicle manufacturing and accelerates development cycles. By replacing fragmented documentation with automated revision control and direct supplier data exchange, the platform establishes end-to-end traceability across mechanical and electrical subsystems. This integrated workflow reduces engineering cycle times, minimizes prototype build discrepancies, and ensures that manufacturing tooling at the Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar site precisely matches verified virtual design models.
