## Siemens Workhouse Electric Vehicles: A New Era in Sustainable Last-Mile Delivery

Plano, Texas – In a groundbreaking move, Workhorse Group Inc. has fully adopted 
Siemens’ Xcelerator portfolio. This strategic decision marks a significant leap 
forward in the development of zero-emission commercial vehicles. The electric vehicle(
EV) startup now standardizes on Teamcenter X and NX, revolutionizing its approach
to sustainable last-mile delivery.

### Streamlining Operations with Cloud-Based Solutions

Siemens’ Workhouse electric vehicles transition to cloud-based [Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) software](https://greenlivingguy.com/2022/05/fleet-xos-platform-launches-intelligence-xosphere/),
Teamcenter X, has certainly been transformative. Additionally, the company now utilizes
NX [software](https://greenlivingguy.com/2022/03/merchants-orders-fully-electric-step-vans-from-xos-inc/)
for vehicle product engineering and manufacturing. This shift has dramatically reduced
IT overhead and enhanced accessibility across development teams and the supply chain.

Jeff Mowry, Chief Information Officer at Workhorse Group, emphasizes the impact:“
We’ve eliminated inefficiencies and can now focus on [building complex electric](https://greenlivingguy.com/green-leitman-press/)
trucks more effectively.” The company has successfully integrated its design, engineering,
and supply chain functions, streamlining the entire production process.

### Accelerating Innovation in Electric Vehicle Production

The implementation of Teamcenter X Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) played a crucial
role in engineering Workhorse’s flagship product, the W56 all-electric step van.
Working alongside Siemens partner PROLIM, Workhorse achieved production-ready PLM
with minimal IT resources, a stark contrast to traditional on-premises solutions.

Dave Bjerke, Vice President of Engineering at Workhorse, highlights the significance:“
Siemens Xcelerator is the digital foundation at the core of our business processes,
enabling us to achieve innovation at scale and pace.” This digital transformation
has positioned Workhorse at the forefront of the [electric vehicle](https://greenlivingguy.com/2023/08/lightning-emotors-commercial-vehicles-with-ev-technology/)
industry.

### A Model for Sustainable Transportation

Nand Kochhar, Vice President of Automotive and Transportation at Siemens Digital
Industries Software, praises Workhorse’s approach: “Workhorse is a great example
of how innovative start-ups can transform the transportation and electrification
industry with the right digital foundation.”

Looking ahead, Workhorse plans to expand its use of Siemens’ software. The company
is exploring a configurator module for [complex product variations and a supply chain](https://greenlivingguy.com/2020/06/sharks-food-chain-unveiling-the-complexities/)
module to enhance supplier collaboration. These advancements promise to further 
accelerate the development of sustainable, zero-emission [electric vehicles for last-mile delivery](https://greenlivingguy.com/2024/07/future-of-logistics-electric-vehicle-delivery-services/).
