Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has recently announced the launch of three new hubs in Europe to strengthen its capabilities in the software-defined vehicles (SDV) space. The new automotive delivery centres in Munich and Villingen-Schwenningen, Germany, along with an engineering centre in Romania, signify a strategic move to support the automotive industry’s shift towards next-generation mobility solutions.
These delivery centres in Germany will play a crucial role in assisting automakers in the development and deployment of software-driven services for autonomous driving, infotainment, safety systems, and connected vehicle technologies. On the other hand, the Romanian engineering centre will focus on designing and creating advanced automotive software platforms to foster early-stage development and innovation.
This expansion forms part of TCS’ long-term strategy to enhance its comprehensive automotive software capabilities, particularly in chip-to-cloud technologies and services. By strategically placing these centres, TCS aims to collaborate closely with European OEMs and global automotive enterprises, providing nearshore capabilities.
Regu Ayyaswamy, TCS Internet of Things (IoT) and Digital Engineering senior vice president & global head, stated, “These new centres will position TCS at the forefront of automotive innovation, enabling us to deliver state-of-the-art solutions in autonomous driving and advanced cockpit systems. This expansion reaffirms our commitment to leading the transformation in the Software-Defined Vehicles space.”
Currently, these new centres house over 100 skilled professionals who will collaborate with more than 2,000 SDV Engineers across TCS’ global locations. This talent pool will contribute to the development of next-generation automotive platforms for digital cockpits, infotainment, advanced driver assistance systems, and other critical SDV functions, supporting the entire product lifecycle from concept through to production and ongoing support.
With over 25 years of experience serving European automotive customers, TCS has a well-established presence in the region’s automotive hubs. The company has been delivering innovative solutions in digital cockpits, electrification, autonomous vehicles, and connected car ecosystems, utilizing digital engineering, IoT, cloud, and data analytics. Additionally, TCS leverages Generative AI to expedite product development, enabling quicker innovation and greater personalization in SDVs.
Anupam Singhal, TCS Manufacturing president and business group head, added, “The shift to software-defined vehicles marks a defining moment for the automotive industry. With the launch of these new centres, we are deepening our commitment to support OEMs in building the next generation of intelligent, connected, and sustainable vehicles.
