“Hyundai and Kia join forces with industry leaders to accelerate the transition to Software Defined Vehicles”
Hyundai Motor and Kia Corporation have taken a step towards accelerating the transition to Software Defined Vehicles (SDVs) through collaboration with industry leaders. The companies have signed a multilateral Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with 17 industry-leading companies to form the Hyundai Motor Group Model-Based Development (MBD) Consortium. The consortium aims to boost the competitiveness of Hyundai Motor and Kia in vehicle control system development.
The development of advanced SDVs requires integrated software that controls the various electronics in the vehicle based on domain centralized architecture. MBD-based models have the advantage of maximizing efficiency by verifying the algorithm through virtual simulation, thus shortening development time while improving quality. The consortium aims to improve investment efficiency in creating software and virtual development solutions and promote a software-based development system through standardization and sharing of such environments.
The consortium includes a total of 19 Korean and international companies with leading software and virtual technologies, including vehicle controller system developers. The consortium is divided into a ‘development group’ for controllers and software product development and a ‘technology group’ that supports specialized technologies to form a comprehensive collaborative ecosystem. The participants will share technology to enhance their respective competitive edge and to help accelerate the SDV transition by establishing a standardized environment for software development and virtual validation.
Hyundai Motor and Kia plan to build an open SDV development ecosystem supporting technology sharing and cooperation among participating companies and promoting the standardization of the finalized control software development and virtual validation systems from the consortium. Hyundai Motor Group is committed to providing freedom of movement and innovative user experiences to customers through advanced SDV. In 2022, the Group announced a new global strategy to transform all vehicles to SDV by 2025 through the ‘Unlock the Software Age’ initiative.
