How do you build a hydrogen fuel cell truck from scratch, with teams spread across four cities, and still hit prototype in just six months? 🚛 

Ask Hyliko. This startup is reinventing zero-emission heavy transport with an integrated, scalable Trucks-as-a-Service offering. And they're doing it on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform on the cloud, with ENOVIA at the center of their organization.

With engineers working across Switzerland, Aix-en-Provence, Paris and Lyon, Hyliko needed everyone aligned, connected and building in real time. No file swaps. No email chains. No on-site servers are slowing things down.

The result? A 20% efficiency gain and a sharp drop in errors and rework.

"We had people working on the design in Switzerland, Aix-en-Provence, Paris and Lyon. Everyone needed to be able to work together efficiently and transparently, with the goal of creating the first prototypes very quickly, within just six months. Because the 3DEXPERIENCE platform is cloud based, we could get started straight away with no need for on-site servers. It has been invaluable for bringing our skills together, keeping everyone up to date and avoiding the inefficiencies of exchanging files and emails. We estimate at least a 20% gain in efficiency, and a significant reduction in errors and rework."—Matthieu Barbier, Technical Manager at Hyliko

What's next? Full digital continuity from design straight through to manufacturing, powered by ENOVIA.

Here's where it's headed:

• Modular vehicle configurations backed by structured change management
• Non-conformities flagged, escalated and resolved fast
• A complete BOM for component ordering and supply chain control

"We're gradually leveraging ENOVIA for change management, especially as we move towards more modular vehicle configurations. For project management and mechanical design corrections, we already use the platform's tracking and messaging features, so when a non-conformity comes up, it can be flagged, escalated and resolved quickly. The next phase is full continuity from design through to manufacturing: a complete bill of materials for ordering components and managing the supply chain, plus detailed visuals for assembly sequences."—Matthieu Barbier, Technical Manager at Hyliko
