  • Convergent and divergent needs of the automotive and heavy equipment industries - On the Move S01E09

    Convergent and divergent needs of the automotive and heavy equipment industries - On the Move S01E09
    Jun 19 2025
    Automotive and the heavy equipment industries face similar challenges on the round to deploying software-defined vehicles (SDVs) and autonomy more efficiently. But the strategies underlying each approach is an interesting point of discussion. Heavy equipment OEMs have a much greater emphasis on long lasting products, but making SDVs and software-defined equipment is changing this once basic difference between the industries. To talk about the ongoing changes in the two parallel industries and the solutions driving transformation of transportation, in this three-part series on heavy equipment and autonomous functionality in software-defined product, we have Hendrick Lange (Senior Director of Heavy Equipment at Siemens Digital Industries) and Akshay Sheorey (Automotive and Transportation Industry Specialist for Autonomy). For the next three episode, our host, Nand Kochhar (VP of the Automotive and Transportation Industries) and moderator Michael Severson (Senior Automotive Marketing Manager at Siemens) will discuss the ins and out of software, electronics, and more.

  • Strategies for bringing software-defined vehicles to market - On the Move S01E08

    Strategies for bringing software-defined vehicles to market - On the Move S01E08
    May 14 2025
    Episode eight of On the Move: A Siemens Automotive podcast is out and we’re wrapping up our three-part conversation with Nand Kochhar, Michael Severson, David Fritz, and Michael Munsey. In parts one and two we covered some of the trends leading to the software-defined vehicles on the road today as well as how the drastic changes to development are being tackled with the Digital Twin and greater collaboration across the value chain. This episode will focus on applying the strategies of digitalization to an increasingly common set of features in modern vehicles – autonomy and electrification. Autonomous safety features are almost standard, with adaptive cruise control and other autonomous driver assistances systems creating clear benefits for manufacturers, drivers, and pedestrians alike. And the growth of electronics in vehicles is changing more than the engineering and design processes in this competitive automotive market.

  • Speaking the language of software and electronics in automotive - On the Move S01E07

    Speaking the language of software and electronics in automotive - On the Move S01E07
    Apr 30 2025
    We’re back for episode seven of On the Move: A Siemens Automotive podcast. This is part two of Nand Kochhar and Michael Severson’s conversation with Michael Munsey and David Fritz on the changes the software-defined vehicle is bringing to the automotive market. In the last episode we focused on some of the journey to SDV ubiquity and how we are helping merge vehicle manufacturing, semiconductor development, and software within the Digital Twin. For this episode we are examining why using a common development language and engineering platform is so important to successfully delivering a software-defined vehicle. Beyond communicating more complex requirements with suppliers and internal development groups, a digital-first approach helps accelerate innovation and help compress ballooning vehicle program timelines.
