DNP and IITH team up to revolutionize autonomous driving and EV tech

Dai Nippon Printing (DNP) has partnered with the Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad (IITH) for joint research in mobility and medical healthcare. The collaboration will focus on advancing technologies for future autonomous driving and next-generation transport solutions. Both organisations aim to speed up development and real-world applications through their combined expertise.

DNP brings its expertise in sheet-type coil technology to the partnership. This innovation will help improve wireless power supply systems for electric vehicles (EVs). The company already holds the world's largest market share for battery pouches used in lithium-ion EV batteries.

The joint research with IITH will explore solutions for a society built around autonomous vehicles and smart mobility. By working within IITH's Technology Research Park (TRP), DNP hopes to fast-track research and bring new technologies into practical use. Beyond mobility, the collaboration will also cover medical healthcare advancements. While exact team sizes remain undisclosed, the project will draw on researchers from both DNP and IITH to push forward key innovations.

The partnership between DNP and IITH marks a step toward faster development in wireless EV charging and autonomous transport. With DNP's existing leadership in battery components and IITH's research capabilities, the project aims to deliver tangible results in mobility and healthcare. The focus remains on moving from lab-based research to real-world implementation.
