PTC Teams Up With Toyota Racing Development U.S.A.

PTC was named the official engine design software partner of TRD U.S.A. (Toyota Racing Development). PTC and its Creo computer-aided design (CAD) and Windchill product lifecycle management (PLM) solutions will support TRD in strengthening engineering capabilities, PTC reports.

TRD, the high-performance division for Toyota and Lexus, designs motorsport engines for participation in NASCAR, GR Cup, off-road, and numerous other racing competitions. From its Costa Mesa engineering team to trackside staff, TRD uses PTC’s Creo CAD and Windchill PLM solutions for early design through race-ready production of its motorsports engines.

“PTC has been a trusted part of our engine development process for many years, supporting our teams from initial design through production,” says Tyler Gibbs, president, TRD U.S.A. “As our engineering programs continue to evolve, partnering with PTC allows us to further leverage PTC’s expertise and technology to improve collaboration, efficiency, and development speed across our organization.”
