Nexteer Unveils Its MotionIQ™ Software Suite for Intelligent Motion Control
Driving the Future of Intelligent Motion Control Nexteer's new software suite comprises three product groups, MotionIQ/Control™, MotionIQ/Dev™ and MotionIQ/Health™, that seamlessly work together to deliver precise motion control, accelerated chassis development and advanced predictive maintenance. They include: • MotionIQ/Control™: Advanced vehicle dynamics functions including Steer-by-Brake, Hands-Off Detection, Quiet Wheel™ Steering, Road Surface Detection and other functions for superior driving experiences. Many of these advanced, award-winning software solutions are already deployed in vehicles on the road through Nexteer's Electric Power Steering (EPS) and Steer-by-Wire (SbW) programs.
• MotionIQ/Dev™: Advanced software development tools, backed by Nexteer's systems integration and software expertise, accelerate feature development from days to minutes through automated coding and integration. By combining these advanced tools, proven systems integration expertise and flexible development approaches, Nexteer empowers OEMs to safely design their own in-house steering control algorithms and seamlessly integrate new features - all within a no-code, model-based environment. This reduces costs, shortens production lead time and minimizes error-prone manual coding.
• MotionIQ/Health™: Leverages prognostic software and AI-powered virtual sensors to continuously monitor the electrical and mechanical functionality of steering and other chassis components as well as tires. This enhances customer satisfaction by proactively predicting issues before they occur - minimizing costly fleet downtime, enabling convenient maintenance scheduling and significantly reducing diagnostic time, errors and expenses. MotionIQ/Health™ also offers valuable insights into product quality and development, helping to reduce costs for OEMs and suppliers by using anonymized data from actual lifecycle conditions.
"In today's hyper-competitive automotive industry, OEMs are in a global race to bring high-quality, software-defined vehicles to market faster while also reducing development costs. To achieve this, suppliers must be more than partners; we must become force multipliers," said Robin Milavec, President, Chief Technology Officer, Chief Strategy Officer and Executive Board Director, Nexteer Automotive. "Nexteer's MotionIQ software answers this call by unifying chassis motion control, development and health-monitoring into a single suite, helping OEMs slash development cycles, drive down costs and embed the latest by-wire technologies. With MotionIQ, Nexteer is not only delivering smarter software; we're transforming the way chassis systems are engineered and integrated at scale." Virtual Simulation Reduces Cost & Development Time Nexteer also offers comprehensive testing and validation capabilities, including platforms like Hardware-in-the-Loop (HiL) and Virtual ECUs (V-ECUs) for active system simulation. Nexteer's level three and four V-ECU enables system-level verification early in the development cycle. This allows OEMs to begin software testing before physical hardware is available and identify issues earlier to prevent costly mistakes later in development. Engineering Collaboration for Accelerated Development & Integration Partners with specialized expertise and global insights, like Nexteer, are essential in helping OEMs rapidly design, develop, test and seamlessly integrate cutting-edge software solutions into vehicles, driving both innovation and efficiency. Nexteer's team of engineers acts as an extension of its customer's teams, championing agile software development to ensure efficient delivery, rapid prototyping and flexible products. Nexteer's software development process has been certified ASIL (Automotive Safety Integrity Level) D compliant with the ISO 26262 Functional Safety Standard and successfully assessed for ASPICE compliance.
Strategic Partner to Support SDV Transition As OEMs adopt more centralized E/E architectures to support their software-defined vehicle (SDV) platforms, they are increasingly bringing software development in-house - including functions embedded in vehicle subsystems and core to their brands. Nexteer has numerous EPS and SbW production programs in development with global OEMs to deliver decoupled steering software.
This approach empowers OEM ownership of unique steering functions and accelerates speed-to-market for their SDVs. By working together in a more collaborative way, Nexteer helps drive engineering efficiencies for its customers by maintaining common software systems across vehicle platforms, enabling easier technology integration and updates, while also providing flexibility to support brand diversification needs.

Bharat Dynamics soars 5% after Q1; buy, sell or hold? Analysts recommend
Bharat Dynamics share price today: Defence and aerospace company Bharat Dynamics share price rallied as much as 5.19 per cent to hit an intraday high of ₹1,563 on Wednesday, August 13, 2025. At 9:32 AM, the stock was trading 3.26 per cent higher at ₹1,534.25. In comparison, the BSE Sensex was up 0.19 per cent at 80,391.68. Bharat Dynamics Q1FY26 results In Q1FY26, Bharat Dynamics reported a net profit of ₹18.34 crore, a sharp increase of 154.37 per cent compared to ₹7.21 crore in the same quarter last year. Revenue from operations rose 29.69 per cent to ₹247.92 crore from ₹191.16 crore in Q1 FY25. Here's what brokerages said on Bharat Dynamics' Q1 results? Domestic brokerage Motilal Oswal noted that Bharat Dynamics delivered a 30 per cent Y-o-Y growth in execution during Q1FY26, aided by a strong order book and easing supply chain challenges. While Ebitda margins remained negative due to seasonal weakness and negative operating leverage, losses narrowed compared to the previous year. PAT came in ahead of consensus expectations. With an order book of approximately ₹23,300 crore, execution is expected to ramp up further in coming quarters, especially in projects like Akash, Astra Mk1, MRSAM, and other armaments. Motilal Oswal had initially rated the stock 'Neutral' in July 2025 due to high valuations of 52x/38x FY27E/FY28E EPS. Following a 25 per cent correction, the stock is now trading at more reasonable valuations of 39x/29x. The brokerage has therefore upgraded the stock to 'Buy' from 'Neutral' and maintained its target price of ₹1,900, based on 42x Sep'27E EPS. Nuvama highlighted that despite subdued profitability, Bharat Dynamics posted strong execution growth of 30 per cent year-on-year, reaching ₹250 crore during Q1FY26. The company's current order backlog of ₹22,800 crore, which is around seven times FY25 sales, and a strong ₹42,800 crore pipeline provide visibility for the next four to five years. Key catalysts include timely and profitable execution, rising exports to friendly nations, and the easing of supply constraints related to chips and warheads. Nuvama is projecting a 51 per cent revenue CAGR and a 66 per cent EPS CAGR from FY25 to FY28, along with operating margins in the 23 to 23.5 per cent range. The brokerage has maintained its 'Buy' rating and target price of ₹2,250, based on a 45x target PE on FY27E EPS of ₹50.1. About Bharat Dynamics Headquartered in Hyderabad, Bharat Dynamics was established on 16 July 1970 as a Public Sector Undertaking under the Ministry of Defence, Government of India. Conceived as the manufacturing hub for guided missile systems and allied equipment for the Indian Armed Forces, Bharat Dynamics has since evolved into a critical pillar of India's defence infrastructure. Over the decades, it has collaborated extensively with the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and foreign Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) to supply a wide range of missiles and associated systems. The company now stands among the few global players equipped with state-of-the-art facilities for the production of guided missiles, underwater weapons, airborne defence systems, and more. It also provides life cycle support, refurbishment, and life extension services for vintage missile systems. BDL has transitioned from a missile manufacturer to a comprehensive Weapon System Integrator, offering end-to-end solutions to the Indian Armed Forces. With four operational manufacturing units—three in Telangana (Hyderabad, Bhanur, and Ibrahimpatnam) and one in Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh—the company is expanding its footprint with a new facility under development in Amravati, Maharashtra. In partnership with DRDO, BDL produces a variety of indigenous systems, including the Akash Surface-to-Air Missile and heavyweight and lightweight torpedoes, the latter of which are also being exported.
