# Pi Motors Pi Motors uses [*Electro Mobility Accelerator*](https://my.3dexperience.3ds.com/welcome/compass-world/3dexperience-industries/transportation-and-mobility/electro-mobility-accelerator) on the **3D**EXPERIENCE platform on Cloud to design its two-wheeled electric vehicles, disrupting the logistics industry with its innovative '‘Electric Vehicle-as-a-Service’ (EVaaS) format. ![banner - Pi Motors - Dassault Systemes](https://www.3ds.com/assets/invest/2023-03/banner-pi-motors-dassault-systemes.jpg) Electric vehicles as a service Last-mile delivery drivers across India recognize that transitioning to an electric vehicle (EV) could be incredibly beneficial, not only to help them minimize their carbon footprint, but to realize cost savings in the long term. However, reports suggest that the initial outlay for an EV can be prohibitive. Many drivers also have concerns about a lack of EV infrastructure and the need for specialist EV mechanics. This is where Pi Motors wants to change the game. The company is on a mission to electrify last-mile logistics and transportation in India via its innovative ‘EV-as-a-Service’ (EVaaS) business model. Pi Motors has begun manufacturing a range of e-bikes, and is currently at the prototyping stage with a single-seater electric moped. It also has plans to develop an electric two-seater car and an electric high-speed motorcycle. Not only will it supply these products to last-mile delivery drivers, but it will also take care of financing, operation and maintenance, providing deep EV know-how and support. [![3DEXPERIENCE platform - Pi Motors - Dassault Systèmes](https://www.3ds.com/assets/invest/2023-03/3dexperience-platform-pi-motors-dassault-systemes.jpg)](https://www.3ds.com/assets/invest/2023-03/3dexperience-platform-pi-motors-dassault-systemes.jpg) The 3DEXPERIENCE platform on Cloud acts as a centralized repository for all design files, so that their engineers can easily design and simulate complex shapes anytime, anywhere. Challenge As Pi Motors expanded, its business processes were becoming increasingly complex and its existing technology platform was struggling to cope. Design files were kept in a scattered folder system, making change management almost impossible. This caused significant issues when it came to finalizing designs within teams and other stakeholders, and raised concerns about data security. File sharing was also inefficient and insecure, with CAD data shared via e-mail or USB drives. And with no way of creating complex geometric shapes, engineers lacked the functionality they needed to optimize products. The Pi Motors team realized it needed to shift from its current person-oriented process to a system-oriented one. Solution Pi Motors chose the [**3D**EXPERIENCE ](https://www.3ds.com/3dexperience)platform on [Cloud ](https://www.3ds.com/cloud)with help from local partner Vias3D who demonstrated the efficiency benefits of the platform, and its high levels of security. The platform offers powerful product lifecycle management, enabling efficient and secure file sharing both internally and with external suppliers and stakeholders. Along with the platform itself, [CATIA ](https://www.3ds.com/products-services/catia/)was deployed for mechanical and surface design, and [SIMULIA ](https://www.3ds.com/products-services/simulia/)for advanced modeling functionality together, with linear and non-linear simulation. We are really excited about the huge opportunity that lies in front of us thanks to the exponential growth in the EV market. By using Dassault Systemes’ **3D**EXPERIENCE platform, we have the capabilities we need to fine-tune our product offering, drive innovation and go to market faster. Jaywant Mahajan Founder and CEO, Pi Motors ![Jaywant Mahajan - Pi Motors - Dassault Systemes](https://www.3ds.com/assets/invest/2023-03/jaywantmahajan.jpg) Benefits Pi Motors has been able to streamline multiple disciplines and shift its business to become system-oriented. That’s because the **3D**EXPERIENCE platform on Cloud acts as a centralized repository for all of Pi Motors’ intellectual property, including its design files, which immediately improves the company’s document management processes. Engineers have the tools they need to design and simulate complex shapes to optimize parts so that they are aerodynamic, including innovative battery solutions – and, thanks to the cloud, they can do this from anywhere. Pi Motors hopes to launch its e-bikes first, followed by its electric moped. In the longer term, it would like to develop an electric two-seater car, which will be the first in a range of four-wheeler vehicles. The **3D**EXPERIENCE platform is key in this expansion, facilitating the sharing of Pi Motors’ prototype designs with potential investors, even before the EVs are manufactured. In the race to take its products to market, Pi Motors expects to get even more from the **3D**EXPERIENCE platform by leveraging its advanced simulation capabilities quickly via the cloud. It plans to simulate crash tests that will not only help it meet local regulations, but reduce the need for physical prototypes and expedite time to market. It also hopes to use simulation to test innovative new battery solutions, testing different design approaches that could increase range and battery life. Focus on Pi Motors Pi Motors aims to re-imagine the Indian logistics and transportation experience with its range of green, affordable, stylish and easy-to-use electric vehicles (EVs). These solutions are offered to both personal and commercial customers via an innovative EV-as-a-Service model that Pi Motors believes will deliver high returns to investors. It will achieve this by enabling high asset utilization, seamless operations and greater outreach through shared mobility and commercial delivery logistics. ![logo - Pi Motors - Dassault Systemes](https://www.3ds.com/assets/invest/2023-03/logo-pi-motors-dassault-systemes.jpg) Focus on Vias3D Founded in 2016, [**VIAS3D** ](https://vias3d.com/)is a Dassault Systèmes Platinum Partner in North America & Gold Partner in India, providing engineering analysis and design solutions to customers in a variety of industries including Aerospace & Defense, Marine and Offshore, Transportation and Mobility, High Tech, Consumer Packaged Goods, Energy, and Life Sciences.
