KPIT Technologies has announced the acquisition of Caresoft Global’s Engineering Solutions business. Caresoft Global, a company that primarily provides automotive benchmarking and cost-effective engineering solutions, will restructure its business into three business units: 1. Benchmarking, Technology Optimization, and Cost Reduction Engineering, 2. Engineering Talent Solutions, 3. Engineering Solutions.
KPIT will purchase Caresoft Global’s Engineering Solutions division globally. Aligned with the needs of global OEMs and KPIT’s ambitions, this partnership will provide multidimensional synergies:
Deepening Focus on Trucks and Off-Highway Segments
In line with KPIT’s strategic focus on the commercial vehicle segment, this partnership will acquire Caresoft’s deep relationships and domain knowledge in the Trucks and Off-highway segments.
Accelerate KPIT’s Foray into China
Caresoft’s deep understanding and relationships with Chinese OEMs, NEVs, and suppliers, as well as its longstanding presence in China, will accelerate KPIT’s foray into the country. KPIT will also implement best practices and lessons learned for Global OEMs.
Ramp up value creation through full vehicle cost reduction solutions for Passenger Cars, Trucks, and Off-highway segments.
A significant portion of vehicle development costs is driven by the engineering of hardware components. Caresoft has deep cost benchmarking and teardown expertise across hundreds of vehicle models and has delivered cost optimization for OEMs, which has saved billions of dollars.
KPIT will also tap into the rich insights generated by Caresoft’s technology optimization and cost reduction programs, expand into new areas such as software benchmarking, create unique market differentiators, and jointly explore downstream implementation opportunities.
Provide Manufacturing Engineering Solutions for the Mobility Segment
KPIT will also expand its expertise in manufacturing and industrial engineering, plant layout design, and assembly line optimization for the mobility ecosystem.
It will assist OEMs in making more informed decisions about product design and manufacturing from the start, as well as implementing the best design in their factories.
The goal is to implement improvements early in the vehicle development cycle and do it right the first time.
A Complete Vision for Mobility Industry
The mobility industry is experiencing significant change. Tariffs and trade uncertainties are putting a burden on supply networks.
Chinese OEMs, equipped with speed, innovation, and cost advantage, are expanding their reach and challenging global OEMs’ leadership positions.
OEMs must combine vehicle software, hardware design, and manufacturing to increase speed and innovation while significantly lowering costs. However, until now, there has not been a strategic collaboration capable of providing this complete vision!
