Elektrobit, a leading provider of embedded automotive software, has signed a joint development agreement with Foxconn (Hon Hai Technology Group) to create EV.OS, an AI-focused automotive software platform. This collaboration aims to support the automotive industry's transition toward software-defined electric vehicles by providing a scalable and intelligent base platform.
EV.OS will serve as a foundational software solution incorporating both hardware and software components. The platform is designed to support key automotive functions, streamline supply chains, and scale production for EV manufacturers. It will include a reference E/E (electrical/electronic) architecture and a basic EV operating system to serve as a blueprint for modern electric vehicles.
The platform will enable real-time control units and service-oriented architecture across all vehicle functions. The development process will use a continuous integration and testing environment, while a semantic vehicle API will allow seamless integration of third-party applications and services.
Maria Anhalt, CEO of Elektrobit, stated, "Our goal is to simplify vehicle development and reduce complexity. By combining Elektrobit's software expertise with Foxconn's manufacturing capabilities, we aim to create a scalable platform that also supports emerging mobility business models." Elektrobit is a wholly owned subsidiary of German automotive giant Continental and has been a global leader in automotive software for over 35 years.
