The car manufacturer will rely on DS Catia and Enovia V6 for product design and data management. With the objective to transform the face of the urban transportation landscape with a dynamic, real world electric vehicle, Joule boasts ample room space, a top speed of 135 km/h and a nominal range of 300km on a single charge.
Optimal Energy chose to adopt the DS solutions in order to benefit from the technical capabilities of an OEM, which has built its experience over many decades, in a short amount of time.
Anton Greeff, chief mechanical engineer at Optimal Energy, said: “There are not many electric cars on the market at the moment, but most of the concepts that have been seen are quite small cars. Ours is built to be an urban driving solution that’s comfortable with a distinctive and attractive design.”
Laurent Couillard, vice president for PLM value selling EMEA at DS, said: “As a young company, Optimal Energy needed to make a strong impression in a market already dominated by car manufacturing veterans. That Optimal Energy chose V6 to express its fervent commitment to protect the environment as well as its desire to build a car that is truly an alternative to most electric vehicles on the market today is something we are very pleased with.”
Will this adoption help Optimal Energy?
