The partnership will use two major Siemens technologies: Teamcenter and Mendix. Teamcenter will work as the central product lifecycle management (PLM) platform, helping manage engineering information, product structures and bills of materials.
It will also support requirements management, programme planning, engineering change management and collaboration between mechanical and electrical engineering teams.
Mendix will support supplier and business process collaboration through a dedicated portal. This will help JSW Greentech connect its internal teams with suppliers and improve information sharing during vehicle development.

Digital Connectivity Across Engineering and Manufacturing
JSW Greentech will also integrate Teamcenter with its enterprise resource planning (ERP) system. This will help synchronise engineering and business data across different departments.
The connected system is expected to improve information flow, provide better visibility into product development and support more organised decision-making. It will also help suppliers participate more efficiently in development processes.
AMPSTAR Electric Trucks and Buses to Benefit
JSW Greentech is the commercial electric vehicle business of the JSW Group. Incorporated in 2024, the company is developing electric commercial vehicles under its AMPSTAR brand.
Its planned portfolio includes electric trucks and electric buses for Indian operating conditions. The company has already introduced a 55-tonne electric tractor-trailer and is developing buses from 7 metres to 18 metres.
The upcoming manufacturing facility at AURIC, Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, is spread across approximately 90 acres. It is planned to have an annual production capacity of 15,000 vehicles, including 10,000 buses and 5,000 trucks.
What the Partnership Means for AMPSTAR Trucks
The Siemens partnership is focused on the technology behind vehicle development rather than announcing a new vehicle launch. Better engineering coordination and product data management could help JSW Greentech manage the development of its AMPSTAR trucks and buses more efficiently.
The company aims to reduce development timelines, improve product quality and build a connected manufacturing ecosystem. However, the companies have not disclosed the financial value of the partnership or a complete implementation timeline.
Focus on Commercial Electric Mobility in India
The collaboration highlights the growing role of digital engineering in India's commercial vehicle industry. Manufacturers are increasingly using connected software systems to manage vehicle design, engineering changes, suppliers and production processes.
For JSW Greentech, the Siemens platform will support its long-term plans for commercial electric mobility under AMPSTAR. The partnership is expected to strengthen its development capabilities as it expands its electric truck and bus portfolio.
