DSD and Alvier Mechatronics, backed by parent company Höganäs AB, are joining forces to provide the mobility industry with engineering services to support sustainable electrified propulsion solutions across automotive, commercial vehicle, off-highway, marine and aerospace applications.
Drive System Design (DSD) specializes in the rapid engineering and development of electrified propulsion systems and Alvier Mechatronics is an engineering service company with special competence in advanced materials and production methods for sustainable, high-volume applications.
“Working with Alvier Mechatronics is a great opportunity for DSD to diversify its contribution to the advancement of sustainable electrified propulsion across an array of critical industries,” said Mark Findlay, managing director, DSD. “It is a company with trusted capability in the industry, and we look forward to pushing the boundaries of sustainable electrification.”
The two companies signed a joint operating agreement to combine DSD’s expertise in full electrified propulsion system design encompassing simulation, prototyping and validation, with Alvier Mechatronics’ capabilities in powder metallurgy and electromagnetic design.
The focus will be on delivering turnkey solutions to the industry, including speed-to-market increases that combine metallurgical and electromagnetic phases of development, reducing prototype lead-time. The partnership will also explore sustainability improvements in the use of CO2, resulting in an overall reduction during the development process.
“This collaboration will capitalize on the combined skills and capabilities of each company to serve our new and existing customers in exciting ways,” said Daniel Hervén, CEO of Alvier Mechatronics.
