Call for Automotive Digital Twin Initiatives

[Guest]

The Advanced Propulsion Centre (APC) is organizing a series of events as part of their Road to COP26 programme. The overall aim is to communicate how the UK are delivering the 2050 net-zero automotive roadmap together, showing the automotive industry in the UK as a key collaborator working with other nations and sectors towards climate goals as well as their key technologies and expertise enabling great innovation for this transition. 

As part of this events programme, The Institute of Digital Engineering - IDE UK (www.ideuk.org) is co-hosting an event on Digital Twins in September. We would very much like to hear from any digital twin initiatives taking place in the automotive industry - particularly as part of the engineering process - to take part in this event as part of the panel discussions. It would be beneficial to demonstrate to the automotive industry the value of digital twins, and what the industry is and should be doing on this front, along with the achieved benefits and the potential consequences of inaction.

Despite the number of Digital Twin programmes and initiatives taking place nationally, there seems to be a gap when it comes to case studies from the automotive industry. If you know of, or are involved in, any digital twin initiatives in the automotive sector we would love to hear from you! 
Please reach out to sunniva.skorve@ideuk.org

 

IDE UK sits within Loughborough University as a spoke of APC and is a government funded institute with the vision to establish the UK as the global leader in digital engineering, driving innovation, investment, and engineering excellence within the automotive sector.

Hi @Sunnivathanks for sharing this. Can you share more information on the event on Digital wins scheduled for September? It would be great to have it on the calendar August 2021 - DT Hub Community (digitaltwinhub.co.uk) if it is opened for all. Thank you.
