IIT Madras works with Altair for e-mobility solutions

Indian Institute of Technology Madras (IIT Madras) has partnered with Altair, a company providing solutions in simulation and high-performance computing and artificial intelligence, to start a laboratory for e-mobility.

The eMobility Simulation Lab at the department of engineering design, IIT Madras, will have the latest tools along with financial support from Altair. More labs and facilities for research and training in e-mobility will be set up at the institute later.

The laboratory will host Altair’s modelling and simulation tools that will support academic work IIT Madras will carry out other e-mobility labs for batteries, charging, power electronics, motors and controllers, and vehicle engineering.

The Department of Engineering Design has in three years launched initiatives and programmes in e-mobility.
