India's largest IT services firm, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), today announced the expansion of its capabilities in the rapidly evolving Software-Defined Vehicles (SDV) space. TCS has set 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-generation mobility solutions. The delivery centres in Germany will support automakers in developing and deploying TCS' 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.

The new centres currently house over 100 professionals who will work alongside more than 2,000 SDV engineers across TCS' global locations. TCS' expansion aligns with the global automotive industry's shift towards software-defined, connected and autonomous mobility.

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.
