Hinduja Tech (HT), a world-class engineering services company, acquired Drive System Design (DSD), an award-winning engineering consultancy known for developing innovative solutions for electrified propulsion systems. DSD currently provides advanced engineering in several industries including automotive, commercial vehicle, off-highway, defence, and aviation across the United Kingdom, the United States, and Asia.
The acquisition helps HT in delivering end-to-end electrified propulsion systems design and development capabilities, strengthening its full-vehicle design and development position.
"The acquisition of Drive System Design is an important milestone in Hinduja Tech's growth journey in the eMobility Industry. DSD has been focused on futuristic powertrain technology (ePT) since its inception over 15 years ago and has a state-of-the-art infrastructure in the UK and the US," said Kumar Prabhas, CEO, Hinduja Tech.
He added, "Both of these markets have high-end engineering talent and are leading the charge in the transition to electric mobility. As this demand increases, the combination of HT and DSD strengths will enable offering the best-in-class e-mobility solutions for global markets."
HT has 70+ clients globally, thus expanding its position in the outsourced engineering services industry and is aiming to speed up its growth to meet the rising demand for e-mobility. With DSD under its umbrella, HT will develop cutting-edge design and testing labs, along with advanced engineering capabilities, in the UK and the US.
"We believe that HT is the right partner at the right time and see this as a tremendous opportunity for the long-term future and expanded capabilities of DSD," said Mark Findlay, CEO, Drive System Design. "As part of the HT family, DSD will be able to increase its reach through HT's global business model and full vehicle development and integration expertise. It is an ideal complement to DSD's advanced engineering capabilities in transmission, driveline, motor design, power electronics and simulation."
