schaeffler-software-definded-vehicles
The transformation towards electric, connected, and software-defined vehicles (SDVs) is reshaping the automotive industry. Schaeffler positions itself as a system partner with a holistic approach—particularly in the field of vehicle control as well as advanced E/E and software architectures.
At the core is a clear paradigm shift: vehicle functions are no longer treated as isolated components but as part of an integrated system at vehicle level. This approach forms the foundation for high-performance software-defined vehicles.
A major focus lies on centralized E/E architectures built around high-performance computers (HPCs), which control functions across domains and significantly reduce the number of traditional control units.
By leveraging Ethernet-based communication and software centralization, key benefits include:
At the same time, scalable architectures enable flexible platforms across multiple vehicle generations.
Schaeffler is expanding beyond components towards complete SDV solutions—covering sensors and actuators, control units, zonal architectures, and integrated drive systems.
A particular focus is on safety-critical systems such as steer-by-wire, as well as 48-volt and high-voltage systems that form the backbone of highly integrated vehicle functions.
These technologies enable key functionalities such as energy and thermal management, charging optimization, and automated driving—paving the way for the next generation of software-defined mobility.
