Software Defined Vehicles
Strategic alliance for software-defined vehicles
Infineon and HL Klemove deepen SDV cooperation
Infineon and HL Klemove are expanding their partnership to accelerate software-defined vehicle architectures. Joint work on zonal electronics, radar and in-vehicle networking aims to support next-generation automated driving platforms.
Infineon Technologies and HL Klemove have signed a memorandum of understanding to broaden their strategic cooperation in the field of software-defined vehicles. The partnership is designed to bring new electronic architectures and key technologies for automated and autonomous driving to market more quickly.
Combining semiconductor platforms and ADAS integration
At the core of the collaboration is the combination of Infineon’s semiconductor and system expertise with HL Klemove’s strengths in ADAS development and system integration. Together, the partners are working on the next evolution of vehicle electronics, with a particular focus on zonal E/E architectures, high-performance in-vehicle networks and sensor-based perception systems.
A central element of the joint roadmap is the development of next-generation zonal controllers. Built around Infineon microcontrollers and power semiconductors, these controllers are intended to serve as scalable building blocks for future SDV platforms. HL Klemove is responsible for application and system development, while Infineon contributes its semiconductor platforms and architectural know-how. The partners plan to deliver prototype solutions that OEMs and tier-one suppliers can use as reference designs for upcoming vehicle architectures.

Ethernet and radar technologies for next-generation ADAS
Beyond zonal control, the cooperation also covers Ethernet-based ADAS and camera systems. This includes the development of front camera modules and parking controllers using Infineon’s automotive Ethernet technologies. High data throughput, low latency and robust communication are seen as essential enablers for software-defined vehicles. In this area, HL Klemove leads system and product development, supported by Infineon’s networking semiconductors and solutions.
Radar technology forms another key pillar of the alliance. HL Klemove is using Infineon’s radar chips to develop high-resolution short-range and imaging radar systems. These are expected to significantly improve object detection and environmental perception for advanced driver assistance and future autonomous driving functions. Joint proof-of-concept projects are intended to pave the way for later commercial deployment.
By working closely across architecture, sensing and networking, Infineon and HL Klemove aim to shorten development cycles, use resources more efficiently and translate innovation into market-ready solutions faster. The agreement establishes a long-term framework for collaboration in secure, connected and software-defined mobility.
