Karma Automotive Resurrects Iconic Electric Vehicle using Siemens Solutions

Simcenter services, simulation and testing solutions help Karma Automotive go above and beyond NVH optimization

The time when electric cars were considered part of some distant, exotic future (due to our limited technological capacity or the perceived dominance of oil) is long gone. A little more than two decades ago, the iconic Prius seriously changed the game. Today, more than 12 million hybrid or electric cars have been sold worldwide and the numbers keep climbing: not only is electrification now considered one of the biggest revolutions of the automotive industry, humanity has begun to conceive a future without gasoline and combustion altogether.

Electric or hybrid cars aren’t taking over the roads just yet for a number of reasons, including their elevated price tags and still limited autonomy. In addition, while many consider that the real beauty resides on the inside, a key differentiator for people who choose a new car remains its appearance. Tesla was the first to understand this when releasing its Model S onto the market in 2012. With it, Tesla managed to reach a distinct market segment that had previously been excluded from the game of electrification: customers who preferred a luxury, sporty design.

By using the Siemens consulting services and software tools, we were able to get it right with a minimum amount of iterations.
