Their global reach and industry expertise, coupled with our technical strengths, create a winning combination. We are excited to embark on this journey, delivering exceptional value to our clients and driving technological advancements in the global mobility value chain.”

Hinduja Tech’s acquisition of TECOSIM significantly expands its presence in Europe, a key region for automotive innovation. With TECOSIM’s established base in Europe, Hinduja Tech will be better positioned to serve a diverse range of clients across the continent and beyond.

As a subsidiary of Ashok Leyland, Hinduja Tech delivers mobility solutions that address industry trends such as electrification and digitalisation. By acquiring TECOSIM, Hinduja Tech takes another step towards becoming a leading global player in the automotive and mobility engineering sectors.
