The objective of VAVE is to build mutually rewarding partnerships with customers in their
journey toward reducing vehicle weight and cost.

Summary:
Tata Steel has successfully evolved from a transactional partner to a complete solution partner for
its Automotive customers. providing best-in-class products and support services to its customers.
Invested in state-of-art R & D facilities and research teams to offer high-end technical support
throughout the lifecycle of vehicles including the VAVE program.
VAVE began with 3-wheelers in 2011, then moved up to cars and trucks in 2012 and 2013.

Since the inception of VAVE Tata Steel has conducted with over 20 customers on
in 2011, around 60 VAVE workshops approximately 90 vehicle models

Benefits:

Evolution from
a transactional Unlocking
partner to a value & cost
solution partner reduction
Weight Reinforcing the
reduction status of being
a preferred
supplier.
Two areas of study under VAVE:

Value Analysis Value Engineering


Study of materials selection Study of vehicle design

Four-step process for VAVE:

Evolution of e-Drive:
During the COVID-19 phase all traditional tech-support activities came to a complete halt. VAVE
swiftly pivoted into its current digital avatar – eDrive. A large portion of the service would be
provided virtually on this platform, moving from a purely physical space to a digital + physical one.
Benefits of the e-Drive:
