USA – Workhorse Group Inc of Cincinnati, Ohio says it has fully adopted the engineering software offered by Siemens Industry Software Inc – a subsidiary of Siemens AG based in Plano, Texas and trading under the name “Siemens Digital Industries Software” – for product development and lifecycle management of its medium-duty battery electric step van, the ‘W56’.
Workhorse says it launched production of its electric step van earlier this year with the help of tools provided by Siemens. These include: ‘Product Lifecycle Management’ software, using a digital twin of the vehicle to manage its design and sales over the course of its lifespan; and ‘Siemens NX’, a suite of tools for product design, engineering, and manufacturing.
