Siemens Digital Industries Software and Daimler Truck are collaborating to implement a state-of-the-art digital engineering platform built using the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio of software and services. The new platform will enable Daimler Truck to explore a future of commercial vehicle innovation and the efficient product development and lifecycle management of trucks and buses. It will be rolled out globally across Daimler Trucks’ engineering hubs, brands, and business segments.
The new digital platform will expand Daimler Truck’s adoption of the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio through the implementation of Teamcenter software for product lifecycle management (PLM), extended with bill of materials (BOM) management as its future standard PLM solution. This environment brings together and integrates the Daimler Truck teams’ workflows, systems and their associated mechanical design, electrical design, and simulation data.
Daimler Truck has begun a digitalisation initiative with the strategic intent to lead sustainable transportation with intelligent IT innovations. To develop trucks and buses of the future, the company is pursuing a clear technology strategy where, in a carbon-neutral future, vehicles will be powered by both electric battery and hydrogen-based drives. These vehicles are also likely to become more intelligent through increased digitalisation, enabling next-level service offerings such as autonomous trucking. Trucks are the backbone of global supply chains, and Daimler Truck will build its carbon-neutral future using the Siemens technology platform, using its leading product engineering, lifecycle management, and simulation tools.
