“The new Multi-Vehicle Simulator is a significant advancement in our R&D capabilities at the ITC. With its cutting-edge features and versatile applications, it will empower our teams to innovate and refine our products to meet the evolving needs of our customers. It marks a significant leap forward for our India Technology Center.” Ashish Sharma, Vice President and Managing Director – ITC, CNH.
CNH has continued to sustainably advance the work of farmers and builders everywhere, investing in innovative technology to boost its customers’ productivity and profitability. The India Technology Center (ITC) in Gurugram, Northern India is one such example. The latest addition is a first-of-its-kind Multi-Vehicle Simulator (MVS). The MVS enables the team to virtually test and evaluate products before physical prototypes are built. It brings a range of benefits including product validation and employee training. Another significant advantage is delivering greater product quality while cutting waste, as this simulator reduces – and in some cases – eliminates the need for physical prototypes.
The MVS has advanced features such as body tracking sensors, virtual reality headsets and devices, multiple display screens, video and audio conference capture and playback systems, which effectively mimic in-field conditions in the CNH labs. It also has related software – hardware integration where the simulator combines a physical and virtual experience with embedded software, and an adjustable frame to replicate various cabs so different types of vehicles can be simulated.

With its cutting-edge features and versatile applications, it will empower our teams to innovate and refine our products to meet the evolving needs of our customers. It marks a significant leap forward for our India Technology Center. It’s not just about creating better vehicles; it’s about empowering our farmers and builders with the tools they need to succeed. By testing and refining virtually, we can ensure our products are not only innovative, but also ergonomic, user-friendly, and ultimately, contribute to the profitability of our customers’ operations,” said Ashish Sharma, Vice President and Managing Director – ITC, CNH.
The ITC opened in 2021 to support CNH’s business in India as well as its global product portfolio.
