Meet the Triumph TE-1:
At first glance, the Triumph TE-1 is instantly recognizable as a performance bike from the iconic British motorcycle brand. It rides and handles like a Triumph triple cylinder internal combustion sports motorcycle too. Yet the TE-1 is no ordinary Triumph. It’s the company’s first foray into the world of electric vehicles. And it’s the final prototype in a ground-breaking collaboration between Triumph and Helix that has the power to challenge assumptions about what electric motorbikes can really do.
“Accelerating our engineering pace allows us to create better products that reach the marketplace faster,” said Alan Cherrington, chief operating officer at Helix. “The 3DEXPERIENCE platform brings all parts of the company together and lets us do things much quicker and in a refined way. We can have design engineers and simulation engineers creating the products, working directly with the customer and sharing 3D models. It makes us a better engineering company.”
