Our engineers and stylists are committed to work on products requiring a high level of creativity and sound technicalities about the mechanics. Our core competencies include 2- wheelers, 3- wheelers, 4- wheelers (light and heavy, mainly for European Market) across world. All are based on requiring unconventional styling and engineering solutions, beside the wide use of advanced technologies at minimum cost.

Aerospace
We have expanded our range of services into aerospace engineering business area.

The project development in this field has very strong bond regarding special materials use (i.e. carbon fiber) which requires a solid acquaintance in simulation. Since the composite materials and technologies applied can sensitively vary from project to project and result in the unexpected behaviour structure. Aerospace engineering can also be identified into different phases. JBM Tesco provides services in styling, concept setting-up, product characteristics and target catalogue definition, weight vs performances control and trade off, system integration, structural design, material testing and definition of the optimized final structure.

A service loop is almost completed featuring Product Definition, Product Analysis, Styling Creativity, Concept and Packaging, Modularity, Digital Manufacturing, Complete Product Engineering, Virtual Validation, Prototypes Construction, Testing and Homologation. The Customer gets benefitted by the operative support during the first months after SOP and the Project Management that includes additional integrated services to improve the process efficiency and products quality. JBM Tesco unconventional methodologies for the engineering world, such as the digital technologies to evaluate styling appearances.

Product Definition
Well in advance to the Product Development Concept, some customers could have the specific need of defining the preliminary analysis for the Reference Market, translated in targets segmentation, costs evaluation, price strategy and logistics models definition, beside the product expected profile and a detailed benchmarking analysis. A well detailed Business Case construction can be either executed independently from a Concept phase or effectively integrated in a successive Product Development phase. In the latter case, this specific activity permits to individuate, since the first project stages, the best performance standards, with an approach able to permit the adoption of the most efficient operative instruments.

Styling and Creativity

Styling and Creativity is now a major factor in the commercial success of most products. Styling and Creativity will need to correspond to ergonomic functionality and utility features as well. For over 40 years JBM Tesco has enriched experience and knowledge from a wide variety of projects. JBM Tesco has vast experience to strike a balance between innovation, functionality & appearance in almost all automotive & non automotive domains. We work throughout the design process from strategic brand developing to family series development.

Concept & Packaging

The Concept set-up is undoubtedly one of the most sensitive phases of the whole development process, requiring specific experience and a consolidated technical know-how. This phase includes the vehicle architecture set-up, analysis, evaluation and its technical synthesis, linked to a preliminary evaluation (and trade off) of cost, weight, performances and to the technical considerations of ergonomic specifications and styling "hard points". According to this process, the analysis of Customer Technical Specifications, integrated to relevant benchmarking references, brings to the creation of an "Initial Action Plan" considering a wide spectrum of variables. In this phase, the project key-factors are analyzed, such as the creation of functional and process synergies (e.g. Modularity) , the action plans to reach performance targets, economic bonds, deadlines and responsibilities.

Product Engineering
JBM Tesco engineering know-how is nearly complete and includes most vehicle areas, with focus on: Body-in-White and Trims research and development through realization of 3D CAD models and 2D drawing able to guarantee the physical manufacturing of each single component for prototype and series production, till final CAD release. This activity is done in synergy with internal CAE department (virtual simulation department) to guarantee all vehicle performances, along with BOM and cost analysis for design to cost and design to functionality optimization. Chassis and powertrain design research and development of suspension in terms of hard points definition and validation,3D CAD models and 2D drawing able to guarantee the physical manufacturing of each single component for prototype and series production till final CAD release. Moreover JBM-TESCO take care of the installation and setting-up of all mechanical supplying systems. Electrical and Electronics, where the experience developed in those years with different customers and standards can assure full support to systems development: starting from definition of functional and diagnostic specifications, through architecture/system/component design and validation, product FMEA, system integration, physical testing, faults analysis and recovery. We are able to design, engineer, homologate and produce a complete vehicle, whether it is a car, truck, bus, tractor o train. On the basis of industrial feasibility studies and of the product analysis

development, our team of engineers, using 3D-2D design techniques and the so called Virtual Car, combined with a smart Design-to-Cost approach, is able to validate each component on the basis of associated costs. Our team works in an integrated way, avoiding personnel redundancy and engineering manager proliferation, but at the same time assuring development risks reduction. This approach of real "Simultaneous Engineering" allows an effective information exchange between Engineering & Simulation to guarantee best results in shorter time.
