Dassault Systèmes (Euronext Paris: #13065, DSY.PA), the 3DEXPERIENCE Company, world leader in 3D design software, 3D Digital Mock Up and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) solutions, and AKKA Technologies, a Europe-based engineering and technology consultancy group, today present the Link&Go autonomous and connected concept car for the first time in China at Dassault Systèmes' (News - Alert) booth at the Michelin Challenge Bibendum Global Summit in Chengdu.

The Michelin Challenge Bibendum Global Summit is the only initiative in the world that brings together all transportation stakeholders to develop a common vision of tomorrow's sustainable mobility and to decide about solutions that generate individual, business, and social benefits.

"The transportation and mobility industry is facing complex challenges brought about by urbanization, environmental impact, and changing consumer behaviors-and on a global scale," said Sylvain Laurent, Executive Vice President, Asia Pacific Market & Global Business Transformation, Dassault Systèmes. "By coming together to advance mobility through smart technologies, we have the potential to transform an industy, positively impact the planet and set a standard that other industries can follow."

In October 2014, AKKA Technologies and Dassault Systèmes formed a strategic partnership to enhance innovation in the field of connected transportation and mobility through smart, driverless vehicles that reflect collaboration between the automotive sector and the digital economy. AKKA Technologies, through Link&Go, illustrates a unique capacity to merge aerospace, railway and automotive best-in-class technologies while Dassault Systèmes' 3DEXPERIENCE platform offers an innovative solution to address cloud-based collaborative business projects in transportation and mobility.

"Driverless and connected vehicles represent key solutions to future urban mobility challenges," said Philippe Obry, Chief Innovation Officer, AKKA Technologies.
