Drive System Design (DSD), a company specializing in the rapid engineering and development of electrified propulsion systems in Farmington Hills, and Alvier Mechatronics 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.
Goslar, Germany-based Alvier is an engineering service company specializing in advanced materials and production methods for sustainable, high-volume applications.
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.
“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,” says Mark Findlay, managing director of DSD. “It is a company with trusted capability in the industry, and we look forward to pushing the boundaries of sustainable electrification.”
This collaboration, the companies state, will unlock significant improvements in the development of electrified systems, and bring innovative turnkey solutions to the industry, including:
- Speed-to-market increase by combining metallurgical and electromagnetic phases of development and reduced prototype lead-time.
- Sustainability improvements in the use of CO2, resulting in an overall reduction during the development process, to complement both companies’ ability to reduce CO2 production during system operation.
- Expertise from the combined experience and resources of Höganäs AB, DSD, and Alvier Mechatronics.
“This collaboration will capitalize on the combined skills and capabilities of each company to serve our new and existing customers in exciting ways,” says Daniel Hervén, CEO of Alvier Mechatronics.
