Roding Mobility is a company synonymous with engineering precision and speed. The company prides itself on developing the most innovative electric mobility concepts – and delivering them as fast as its clients need them.
Based in Germany, Roding Mobility’s 80-strong multidisciplinary team handles all manner of complex mobility projects, from street-legal prototypes to state-of-the-art electric battery systems. One of the key factors in its success is its holistic engineering approach, which allows it to progress seamlessly from one product development stage to the next.
“Our daily business is to bring to life functional prototypes and subsystems of future electric mobility concepts as quickly as possible,” said Günther Riedl, co-founder and CEO of Roding Mobility. “We keep in mind engineering and manufacturing, but also the downstream use of the product across its full lifecycle.”
Roding’s commitment to speed and quality also extends to its digital strategy. The company now employs Dassault Systèmes solutions for all design and engineering, taking advantage of the 3DEXPERIENCE platform’s integrated product development environment to work more productively and boost multidisciplinary collaboration.
Prior to adopting the Dassault Systèmes solution suite, Roding faced challenges with data management and visibility across its different teams. Moving to a centralized platform has significantly improved communication and version control, helping the company to meet project deadlines and avoid costly manufacturing issues such as installing wrong parts.
Being able to access the 3DEXPERIENCE platform remotely is also supporting modern, flexible ways of working – saving engineers time commuting to the office and reducing their carbon footprint in the process.
“Our remote working rate is higher and, as a company, we produce significantly fewer carbon emissions caused by commuting,” Riedl said.
The types of vehicles and systems Roding builds today are more complex than ever and involve the integration of thousands of different components. Not only is the 3DEXPERIENCE platform invaluable for keeping track of everything but it will also play an increasingly important role in verifying designs before physical production.
The company increasingly uses Dassault Systèmes’ virtual twin capabilities to accurately model, simulate and test parts and subsystems. Doing all this in the virtual world first helps to reduce the need for physical prototypes and accelerates time to market.
Looking ahead, Roding aims to expand its use of virtual twin technology to work directly with customers and bring their ideas to life in a more collaborative manner. The company’s focus on innovation and digital transformation continues to set new standards in the mobility industry.
