Using Improved Digital Twin Accuracy to Develop Sustainable Mobility Solutions

NEVS leverages Siemens Xcelerator to reduce initial vehicle assessment cycle time by 50 percent

There are 1.3 billion cars in the world, but on average they spend only 5 percent of their lifespan on the road. That was the inspiration for NEVS and its mobility as a service platform.

Founded in 2012, NEVS, which is located on the site of the former SAAB automotive plant in Trollhättan, Sweden, has sought to change how society thinks about mobility. The mobility as a service platform known as PONS is aimed at shaping future mobility options. The NEVS mobility ecosystem includes a complete ride-sharing solution with electrified and autonomous connected vehicles, easy-to-use applications and integrated fleet management for operators and urban authorities.

PONS includes the Sango, an electric, autonomous vehicle, the user-friendly Okulo app for interacting with customers and the Koro fleet management system. It is the full package to change the way we think about going from points A to B.

“We want to improve our quality of life but we need to decouple that from our use of resources,” states Felix Andlauer, vice president of mobility solutions for NEVS. “Autonomous vehicles are an option to make people share vehicles and use our resources more efficiently.”

Thanks to HEEDS and our in-house tools, we can run 2,000 design iterations within an hour. With one day of work, we have initial results available.
