Developing Efficient Structural Concepts for the Future of Mobility

Watch the second episode in the Dassault Systèmes MODSIM Series.

We are in the middle of a metamorphosis of the automotive & aerospace industries. Both these industries are being challenged and pushed towards redefinition, not only to reduce the carbon footprint of their products but also to redefine the role of driver/pilot, who can either sit and relax or drive or fly.

At this moment, there are close to 189 eVTOLs in different phases of development. Air mobility demand is to grow significantly to 5.8 million flying hours by 2035. 450 EV models with varying levels of driver assistance will hit the road by 2025. EV sales are going to grow from 4 million in 2020 to 21 million in 2030.

All of this is happening at a frenetic pace, where the product development timeline is shrinking fast. Go-to-market timelines for automotive OEMs have been reduced by 71%. The reduction of product development timeline is putting tremendous pressure, on the engineering teams at OEMs and innovative startups to convert their current ideas to vehicle programs in a very short time frame.
