Software engineering leader GlobalLogic Inc., a subsidiary of the Hitachi Group, has announced a significant expansion of its strategic alliance with automotive software firm Elektrobit. The strengthened partnership aims to drive the growth and market adoption of next-generation software-defined vehicle (SDV) platforms.
The partnership between GlobalLogic and Elektrobit, which spans over 15 years, has supported a range of Elektrobit’s leading products. This includes the development of Adaptive and Classic AUTOSAR middleware, in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) systems, and connectivity solutions. The current expansion will go beyond standard engineering services, focusing on smart, quick, and cost-effective vehicle software development at scale to facilitate market entry across key global regions.
The collaboration comes at a pivotal time as the industry undergoes a major transition towards Software-Defined Vehicles (SDVs). Taking advantage of its deep knowledge in HPC, functional safety, and cybersecurity, GlobalLogic seeks to ensure compliance with ASPICE 4.0 and ISO 21434 standards.
“Our expanded collaboration with Elektrobit strengthens our shared commitment to advancing SDV in the automotive industry. With GlobalLogic’s capabilities in safety-critical software, HPC, digital cockpit innovation, and SDV tooling, we are helping OEMs accelerate feature development and deliver production-grade vehicle programs worldwide,” mentioned Ramki Krishna, Group Vice President and General Manager, Automotive and Industrial Business at GlobalLogic.
Jaganathan Rajagopalan, Chief Product Officer at Elektrobit, echoed Krishna’s affirmation. He stated that while Software-defined vehicles are already in play, their success demands scalability, flexibility, and firm alliances. He further noted that Elektrobit’s association with GlobalLogic would support its capacity to scale, providing premium engineering expertise and making them a frontrunner in efficiency and innovation.
