Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), a global leader in IT services, consulting, and business solutions, has announced the expansion of its capabilities in the rapidly evolving Software-Defined Vehicles (SDV) space. TCS sets up two new Automotive Delivery Centres in Germany - located in Munich and Villingen-Schwenningen, as well as an engineering centre in Romania. These new hubs mark a strategic move to help TCS' global automotive clients accelerate their transition to next-gen mobility solutions.

The delivery centres in Germany will support automakers in developing and deploying TCS's software-driven services that cater to autonomous driving, infotainment, safety systems, and connected vehicle technologies. Meanwhile, the engineering centre in Romania will focus on designing and building advanced automotive software platforms to support early-stage development and innovation.

This expansion is part of TCS's long-term strategy to strengthen its end-to-end automotive software capabilities, chip-to-cloud technologies, and services. In Ireland, the TCS team operating out of its Global Delivery Centre in Letterkenny works closely with its locally based client, JLR (Jaguar Land Rover), to support them in their move from a traditional automotive manufacturer to a software-centric organisation.

The strategic location of these centres will enable close collaboration with leading European OEMs and global automotive enterprises, providing nearshore capabilities. The new centres currently house over 100 talented professionals who will work together with more than 2000 SDV Engineers across TCS global locations, including Ireland.

This diverse and global talent pool will enable the development of next-generation automotive platforms for digital cockpits and infotainment, advanced driver assistance systems, and other critical SDV functions, supporting the full product lifecycle from concept and development to production and post-launch support.

Regu Ayyaswamy, Senior Vice President & Global Head, Internet of Things (IoT) and Digital Engineering at TCS, said, "These new centres will position TCS at the forefront of automotive innovation, enabling us to deliver state-of-the-art solutions in autonomous driving and advanced cockpit systems. This expansion reaffirms our commitment to leading the transformation in the Software-Defined Vehicles space."

TCS' expansion aligns with the global automotive industry's shift toward software-defined, connected, and autonomous mobility. As demand grows for intelligent vehicle technologies, TCS is well-positioned to lead the transformation. Europe is a strategically significant location for TCS's automotive delivery hubs due to its robust automotive industry and the presence of numerous leading automotive manufacturers in the region. TCS has been serving automotive customers in Europe for the past 25 years and has a strong presence in automotive hubs across the region, including Ireland.

The organisation has been delivering innovative solutions in digital cockpit, electrification, autonomous vehicles, and connected car ecosystems through digital engineering, IoT, cloud, and data analytics. TCS also leverages Generative AI to accelerate product development with feature generation and testing in SDVs, enabling faster innovation and enhanced personalisation.

Anupam Singhal, President and Business Group Head, Manufacturing, TCS, said, "The shift to software-defined vehicles marks a defining moment for the automotive industry. With the launch of these new centres, we are deepening our commitment to support OEMs in building the next generation of intelligent, connected, and sustainable vehicles. This expansion is a key milestone in our journey toward Future-Ready Mobility - where software, engineering, and design, backed by AI, converge to deliver safer, more personalised, and continuously enriching experiences for drivers and passengers."
