Elektrobit and global partner to jointly develop EV.OS – an AI-centric automotive platform for software-defined vehicles
AI-centric, smart automotive platform
will accelerate the transition towards software-defined mobility.

ERLANGEN, Germany/ June 25, 2025 – Elektrobit today announced the signing of a joint development agreement (JDA) with Hon Hai Technology Group (Foxconn), one of the world’s largest electronics manufacturers, to jointly develop EV.OS – a flexible and AI-centric software platform designed to support the rapid transformation towards software-defined electric vehicles.

Together Elektrobit and Foxconn intend to create a smart EV platform, EV.OS, including hardware and software, to develop industry-first scaling supply chain innovations. The companies share a common ambition to develop, innovate and release to market smart automotive platform solutions that reduce complexity, total cost of ownership, scale production and accelerate the commoditization of the mobility industry for the benefit of the consumer. The smart EV platform will include a reference E/E architecture (EV.EEA), ...
... a non-differentiating EV operating system, and an EV application.

When completed, EV.OS and EV.EEA will form the backbone of a future-ready SDV platform, enabled by Elektrobit’s software platform integration capabilities. It will support multiple high-performance and real-time ECUs and enable service-oriented architectures across all functional domains – including a semantic vehicle API for third-party applications. Development will be supported by an efficient CI/CT/CD toolchain and a Level 3 virtualized environment.

“Elektrobit has a unique value proposition in automotive embedded software development with regards to both, development of own software products, and integration and homologation of large-scale automotive series projects.
Our collaboration with Foxconn is another milestone in the evolution of software-defined vehicles”, said Maria Anhalt, CEO of Elektrobit. “By combining Elektrobit’s automotive software expertise with Foxconn’s manufacturing and hardware innovation, we are creating a scalable platform that reduces complexity, shortens development cycles and supports future mobility business models.”
