The electrification of motor-driven vehicles to replace conventional internal combustion engines is now not limited to electric vehicles (EVs), but has spread to bicycles, scooters, and even large vehicles such as buses and trucks, and the market is expanding rapidly.

This trend is expected to continue, and in the coming years, electric vehicles are expected to become more sustainable, innovative, versatile, and capable than ever before.
This is due to the fact that vehicles, which used to be a mass of mechanical systems including internal combustion engines, have become software-enabled, connected, and have undergone significant technological innovation.

As the environment surrounding EVs is changing rapidly, large companies are trying to catch up by investing huge budgets in R&D and factory redesign, while small and medium-sized companies and start-ups with limited budgets and other resources need to completely digitalize the design and development process and obtain mobility that cannot be achieved in large factories. They need to fully digitalize their design and development processes and gain the mobility that large factories cannot provide.
In doing so, it is important to select the right design and development platform for their business needs to increase their design capabilities and operational efficiency without incurring significant costs.

In the EV industry, which is facing a critical turning point, we suggest that SMEs and start-ups should also hurry to establish software-based design and development environments in order to remain players.
In addition, we will also present case studies of SaaS-based design and development platform products that provide comprehensive and powerful support for EV design and development, from modeling to styling and engineering.
