Entire vehicle E/E-Development
From vision to series production at lightspeed
Developing best-in-class E/E Architectures for a new generation of vehicles
Vehicles are rarely completely reinvented. In most cases, they are only allowed back on the drawing board briefly for a facelift. But true innovation in vehicles and their E/E-architectures only arises where bold approaches go beyond mere reworking. Our teams in E/E complete vehicle development and E/E system design combine expertise in all relevant disciplines: from agile mindset and benchmarking, to E/E architecture development and system integration, to testing and supplier management.

E/E- entire vehicle development: From the vision to the system
It all starts with a design or a vision. Our experts then derive the necessary customer features, taking into account market analysis, technological roadmaps and competitor benchmarks.
Based on this, we develop a "Logical Function Architecture". Functions are also broken down into their constituent parts in order to describe the information to be exchanged between the sub-functions. These are additionally supported by precise requirements.
Agility as a basic principle in E/E entire vehicle development
As in almost all new development projects, it is important to consistently use agile methods from the very beginning, because changes and adjustments must remain possible throughout the development process – after all, flexibility is essential in order to be able to respond to the market and customers.
This step is followed by the consistently modeled design for the technical implementation of the architecture—closely interlinked with the development of wiring harness and communication design. Our focus is particularly on optimizing the architecture to increase efficiency and reduce costs in the long term.
Integration, Testing, and Validation
Based on the steps completed previously, our developers implement individual system components, which are then tested in the overall system. In the lab-car, we integrate these components into a functional unit and validate their interaction. The prototype is tested intensively and any sources of error identified are permanently fixed. In this way, we ensure that our customers' vision is successfully and rapidly implemented from the basic idea to series production.
