    Our Solutions for Software-defined Vehicles

    From the Road to the Cloud - From Virtual to Real

    Know-how and Solutions for
    Future Mobility

    The term SDV (Software-defined Vehicle) is one of the key topics in the automotive industry - not only for passenger cars but also for commercial vehicles.

    A new vehicle architecture is being introduced, with a consistent separation of software and hardware development cycles. This enables rapid development and implementation of solutions over the entire life cycle of the vehicle. Both in the development of new solutions and for the transition to Software-defined Vehicles, we offer innovations, products and expertise for the mobility solutions of tomorrow as part of the Road to Cloud Ecosystem.

    From the road to the cloud - from virtual to real.

    Passenger Cars

    The automotive industry is changing - manufacturers, drivers and passengers are focusing on mobility requirements and a wide range of functions.
    Important functions in the areas of Safe, Exciting, Connected and Autonomous within the vehicle will in future be implemented via software on an existing hardware architecture in the vehicle.
    Software-defined HPC and ZCU Architecture

    In addition to suitable solutions, our agenda also includes providing support for the SDV, and we use all of our experience and knowledge to achieve this.

    The relevant know-how inside and outside the car and the knowledge of the development and integration of complex systems, including the appropriate hardware and enabling products, are also of great importance.

    Commercial Vehicles

    Software-defined architectures open up enormous potential for commercial vehicles: with the separation of software and hardware development cycles and the introduction of a centralized E/E architecture, it will be possible to retrofit and upgrade commercial vehicles over-the-air with new functions and services regardless of their long service and platform life - without replacing hardware!  
    Software-defined Commercial Vehicle HPC Architecture

    This transition to the Software-defined Commercial Vehicle (SDCV) will take place gradually in several stages (e.g., initially in individual zones) and requires hardware, software, tools and processes as well as cybersecurity solutions in order to move from today's architectures to completely service-oriented architectures without disruption.

    We implement the special hardware requirements with scalable High-Performance Computers (HPC). These "servers" have already proven themselves in the passenger car series and are currently being adapted for commercial vehicles.    

    Software-enabled Functions Drive the Future of Vehicle Design

    In Software-defined Vehicles, functions are enabled by software. The separation of software and hardware development cycles enables high flexibility and scalability in the development and integration of new functions and systems during the entire vehicle life cycle.

    Within the Road to Cloud Ecosystem, we offer many possibilities for the software stacks of the future.

    Our Approach: the Road to Cloud Ecosystem.
    Within this we deliver enabling technologies, hardware components and complex software solutions and functions.

    We Think Future Mobility – We Think SDV

    Solutions for Software-defined Vehicles

    The development and implementation of software functionalities require in-depth expertise in the areas of vehicle architecture, software development and integration.

    We have combined these three clusters to create innovative products and solutions for the future of mobility.
