L&T Technology Services (BSE: 540115, NSE: LTTS), a leading global player in Engineering and R&D
services, and FORVIA, 7th global automotive supplier, signed a strategic partnership – which
represents a contract of approximately €45 million – on Engineering development activities for the
benefit of its Clean Mobility division.
As part of this five-year partnership, approximately 300 engineers from FORVIA’s Augsburg
(Germany) and Bangalore (India) sites, have transferred to LTTS. This represents a 95% transfer
success rate securing the skills of these teams who will develop internal combustion engine related
engineering activities from within LTTS.
With LTTS at the helm, these engineers continue their activities for FORVIA from their current
locations, guaranteeing seamless collaboration and ongoing support for end customers across Digital
PLM initiatives. FORVIA is addressing the evolving automotive landscape on ultra-low emissions while
ensuring high-quality engineering support and providing opportunities for maintaining employment.
The partnership will deliver engineering services for FORVIA. Additionally, not only will it secure the
career path of transferred employees, but it will also enrich their skillsets with exposure to LTTS’
extensive portfolio. A key part of the agreement is the capacity given by FORVIA to LTTS to train and
reskill these engineers who, supported by the LTTS Global Engineering Academy, will be repositioned
over time to work in other fields within the LTTS commercial network.
“Our collaboration with FORVIA underscores our proficiency in the transportation and automotive
industry, while simultaneously reinforcing our dedication to spearheading progress in the field of
traditional engine technologies and new-age digital transformation for ultra-low emissions and clean
mobility,” stated Amit Chadha, CEO and Managing Director of L&T Technology Services. This
groundbreaking partnership serves as a testament to our sophisticated capabilities, enabling FORVIA
to maintain and strengthen its industry leadership.”

strategic partnership shows how we are committed to protect our leadership in the ultra-low emission
business and employee interests in a changing environment. As one of the world’s leading engineering
service providers, LTTS is the ideal partner to ensure FORVIA secures key competences in the energy
transition context.” said Patrick Koller, CEO of FORVIA.
