Vehicle E/E Architectures

Modern vehicles are increasingly defined by their  Electrical/Electronic (E/E) architecture, which orchestrates the interaction between sensors, actuators, ECUs (Electronic Control Units), and communication networks. This architecture is the foundation to delivering core vehicle functions—from basic body control to advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). Traditionally, automotive E/E architectures were  distributed, with each function managed by a dedicated ECU. As vehicles became more complex, this led to inefficiencies in wiring, weight, and software integration. To address these challenges, AUMOVIO supported  domain-based architectures, grouping ECUs by function (e.g., infotainment, powertrain, chassis). As the industry shifts toward  zonal architectures, which organize ECUs by physical location (e.g., front-left, rear-right),  AUMOVIO continues to be a leader with scalable and modular solutions. This zonal approach reduces wiring harness complexity, lowers cost, and improves modularity for manufacturing and maintenance. Beyond hardware organization, E/E architectures also define  power distribution,  signal routing, and  software deployment strategies  across the vehicle. With the rise of  Software Defined Vehicles (SDVs), AUMOVIO’s platforms are built to support  high-bandwidth communication protocols  like Automotive Ethernet, enabling real-time data exchange, centralized software management, and seamless integration with cloud-based services. AUMOVIO offers a complete portfolio of solutions  that span from traditional ECU integration to cutting-edge zonal and centralized architectures—empowering automotive manufacturers to build smarter, safer, and more connected vehicles.
