Vehicle E/E architectures

Building the foundation for software-defined and AI-defined vehicles.

The market is shifting from distributed electronic control unit (ECU) networks to centralized and zonal architectures. Instead of highly fragmented systems with dedicated control units, future vehicles rely on server-zone architectures powered by high-performance computers and zone control units. Computing power is centralized, while local network, power and input/output connections are aggregated closer to sensors and actuators in the vehicle.

This transformation decouples hardware from software. It enables faster innovation cycles, scalable vehicle platforms, continuous feature updates and the integration of AI-enabled functions over the vehicle lifecycle.

At the same time, system complexity increases significantly. Multiple functions and domains are consolidated on centralized computing platforms, making architecture design, software integration and lifecycle management decisive success factors.

As an end-to-end system provider, we support this transformation across all stages of architectural evolution. From distributedand domain-based systems to server-zone and centralized architectures, we provide a comprehensive portfolio of hardware, software, and services.

Combined with deep system integration expertise, we help customers turn complex E/E architectures into scalable, future-ready platforms for software-defined and AI-defined mobility.
