Multi-year agreement positions global automaker to advance next-generation vehicle development on the Rescale platform

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Rescale, the digital engineering platform for the AI era, today announced the expansion of its partnership with Honda Motor Co., Ltd. under a new multi-year agreement to advance Honda’s digital engineering transformation. Honda is expanding its use of the Rescale platform to scale simulation capacity, modernize engineering workflows, and strengthen its engineering foundation for next-generation vehicle development.

As one of the world’s leading automotive manufacturers and a company with a long history of engineering innovation, Honda recognized early that meeting the demands of next-generation vehicle development would require evolving its engineering environment to match the ambition of its product development roadmap. Building on its experience with the Rescale platform, Honda made the strategic decision to expand the partnership to establish a modern, flexible engineering foundation that can support future technological advancements across physics simulation, engineering, and product development.

“The demands on our engineering environment are only growing, with more complexity, faster cycles, and the need to explore more possibilities earlier in development,” said Tomoaki Utsunomiya, chief engineer, Auto. Dev. Engineering Systems (TE), HM ECM System Div, Digital Unit, Honda Motor Co., Ltd. “Rescale gives us the flexibility and scale to meet those demands as they evolve. As we look ahead, having a platform that can continuously strengthen our engineering capabilities as technology advances is exactly what we need.”

“Honda is exactly the kind of pioneering, globally leading engineering organization the Rescale platform is built to support,” said Joris Poort, chief executive officer at Rescale. “The scale and complexity of modern automotive product development demands a platform that can support the most innovative engineering teams, from complex physics simulation at scale to AI physics and agentic engineering workflows. We are delighted to support Honda’s world-class engineering talent as they push the boundaries of what’s possible in automotive product development.”

To support the expanded partnership, Honda and Rescale developed a joint benchmark validation process that established the platform as the right foundation for Honda’s most complex and demanding engineering workflows, giving teams the confidence to broaden adoption across the organization and begin realizing the full potential of a next-generation engineering environment.

The Rescale platform brings together intelligent HPC, advanced modeling and simulation, agentic digital engineering, and AI physics in a single cloud-native environment. Engineering organizations use the platform to scale simulation workloads on demand, automate complex multi-step workflows with AI agents, and compress design exploration cycles using surrogate models trained on their own simulation data, enabling real-time iteration across thousands of design candidates. For automotive organizations managing increasingly complex vehicle programs, that combination of scale, automation, and AI-accelerated discovery represents a fundamental shift in what engineering teams can accomplish.

The Rescale platform is available now. For more information, visit rescale.com.
