L&T, FORVIA Partner for Ultra-Low Emission Engine Development
L&T Technology Services (LTTS) and FORVIA, the world's seventh-largest automotive supplier, have announced a strategic partnership valued at approximately $45 million to advance engineering development for FORVIA's Clean Mobility division. The five-year partnership involves transferring around 300 engineers from FORVIA's Augsburg (Germany) and Bangalore (India) sites to LTTS. The transition achieved a remarkable 95% success rate, ensuring the teams' continued involvement in internal combustion engine-related engineering activities from within LTTS.
Under LTTS's leadership, the engineers will maintain their roles at their current locations, ensuring seamless collaboration and ongoing support for FORVIA's end customers across Digital PLM initiatives. This collaboration demonstrates FORVIA's commitment to addressing the changing automotive landscape, focusing on ultra-low emissions and high-quality engineering support while providing stable employment opportunities.
The partnership will deliver essential engineering services for FORVIA while securing the career paths of transferred employees and broadening their skill sets. LTTS' extensive portfolio offers exposure to various technologies and projects. A key aspect of the agreement is FORVIA's provision for LTTS to train and reskill the engineers, who, with support from the LTTS Global Engineering Academy, will be repositioned over time to work in different fields within LTTS's commercial network.
This strategic alliance showcases LTTS's and FORVIA's dedication to driving innovation and sustainability in the automotive industry while fostering growth and development opportunities for engineering talent.
