Powertrain Development Services
A customized system engineering methodology was adopted for creating engines that score in all areas, viz. performance, maximum carry-over capacity, low cost, and time-to-market. We cater to the urgent needs of making a ‘Greener’ engine while equipping it to achieve peak performance levels. Some salient features include torsional vibration reduction, friction and noise reduction, combustion optimization, and after-treatment development. Engine hybridization/mild hybrid - uses modern technologies like energy recovery and vehicle operating points optimization. We have designed minimum electrification hybrid engines for power augmentation.
Our ICE Powertrain Development Services
Hinduja Tech provides end-to-end ICE powertrain development services throughout the product lifecycle.
Concept Benchmarking
Our power train development services expertise in developing engines from the ground up helps us undertake benchmarking and teardown analysis with finesse using well-equipped testing and proto-shop facilities, and also third-party facility vetted via NDA, MSA and MoU agreements.

Design Engineering - Engine Design & Assembly
Hinduja Tech has always risen up to the challenges in engine design & assembly by designing diverse applications and adhering to quality standards and timelines. We also design and assemble system components using DFX concepts like design for assembly, serviceability, and accessibility. With our in-house vehicle integration/vehicle architecture design capability, we conduct a Digital Mock Up (DMU) of the powertrain with the entire vehicle, which can be validated with engine design to accelerate product development.
IC Powertrain Virtual Validation
To reduce the amount of exhaustive physical testing of engines, we have employed various simulation tools running on compatible multi-core workstations to provide results that can be correlated with test data. We also have pre-defined simulation models and best practices documents, which are used for reference purposes and are updated on a timely basis.

Prototyping
A malfunction or failure of a single component in an engine can lead to catastrophic consequences. As such, it is essential to fully test and evaluate the performance of an engine prototype. Hinduja Tech has extensive experience in prototyping engine and its components. Hinduja Tech helps its customers with rapid prototyping of engines in a cost-effective manner and possesses the skills to help bring new product concepts to life.
VA/VE & Cost Engineering
In today’s mobility world, there is a constant need to reduce the development cost and stay competitive in the market. At Hinduja Tech, we’re committed to helping OEMs & Tier-1s achieve cost reduction of products and accelerate sustainable, profitable innovation for our customers through our Value Analysis & Value Engineering (VAVE) services.
EV Powertrain
Electrified powertrain is the core of all technologies revolving around the electric vehicle. Electric powertrain architecture is distinguished between three major systems: Battery pack, electric drive system or electric motor, and other power conversion electronic components (inverter, converter & onboard charger). The typical challenges in developing the EV powertrain components include efficient thermal management, integrating electric systems, weight reduction, and vehicle performance. Hinduja Tech supports OEMs & Tier-1s to overcome the current and future challenges of EV powertrain development. Click here to know more about Advanced ePropulsion System Design.
