Software Defined Vehicles
Strategic alliance for software-defined vehicles
Infineon and HL Klemove deepen SDV cooperation
By working closely across architecture, sensing and networking, Infineon and HL Klemove aim to shorten development cycles.
Infineon
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.
