Hyundai Mobis and Wind River have announced the launch of a new, integrated software development environment called Mobis Development Studio. The platform is designed to accelerate the creation of software-defined vehicles (SDVs) by combining Hyundai Mobis' cloud-based infrastructure with Wind River's Studio Developer platform.

Mobis Development Studio is a web-based, unified development platform that provides an intuitive user interface for specific electronic control units (ECUs). It includes features like high-speed build capabilities and automated testing tools to improve software quality and development efficiency. This system will help Hyundai Mobis advance its transformation into a software-centric mobility technology company.

Key Features and Collaboration

The new platform leverages key features from Wind River Studio Developer, including:

• Collaboration tools: To streamline teamwork among developers.
• Automation frameworks: To automate repetitive tasks and improve efficiency.
• Shift-left testing modules: To allow for earlier validation of software in the development lifecycle, catching potential issues sooner.

Sandeep Modhvadia, Chief Product Officer, Wind River, said, “As the automotive industry continues to evolve towards a more intelligent and autonomous future, software is the key driver of transformation. In collaboration with Hyundai Mobis, we have introduced a next-generation development framework that spans both cloud and edge environments and delivers robust lifecycle management. Together, we are empowering automakers to innovate faster, improve operational efficiency, and accelerate the future of the software-defined vehicle. We congratulate Hyundai Mobis on achieving this important milestone.”

Soo-Kyung Jung, Executive Vice-President, Hyundai Mobis, added, “Through this collaboration with Wind River, we expect to significantly enhance automation across the entire vehicle development lifecycle and accelerate innovation in next-generation intelligent vehicle software development. This development environment is not only highly automated but is also rapidly expanding into an AI-driven next-generation development system.”

The partnership aims to deliver a state-of-the-art software infrastructure optimised for SDVs by aligning development methodologies to speed up the design, development, and deployment of automotive systems.

Italian technology company Brembo has announced that its intelligent braking platform, Sensify, has entered commercial production for a major global vehicle manufacturer. The system is being fitted as standard across the entirety of the vehicles in the initial programme, representing the platform's first full industrial deployment.

Sensify is designed as a fluid-free architecture that replaces centralised hydraulic circuits with distributed intelligence at the wheel level. This design allows for the precision control, wherein the system enables continuous and accurate modulation of braking forces to maintain vehicle stability in variable driving conditions. The platform integrates with software-defined vehicle architectures, allowing manufacturers to deploy advanced functions across different vehicle segments. It is engineered to be adaptable with the technology supporting a range of applications from driver assistance systems to fully autonomous vehicles.

Following this production milestone, Brembo has secured additional contracts with new customers for the Sensify platform. The company expects to equip hundreds of thousands of vehicles annually, moving toward large-scale deployment of by-wire braking systems.

Daniele Schillaci, CEO, Brembo, said, “Sensify translates our vision of an intelligent, integrated braking platform into industrial reality. Designed to orchestrate the entire corner ecosystem, it supports safer mobility, while paving the way for the next generation of software-defined vehicles, reflecting our long-term purpose of shaping a Zero Accident Future”.

Bengaluru-based technology company Tsuyo Manufacturing has been granted two patents for electric vehicle motor designs, increasing its portfolio to 29 innovations.

The company claims it has supplied 300,000 powertrains to 25 manufacturers across the commercial vehicle, agriculture and industrial sectors.

The first patent covers a bridge design for synchronous reluctance motors. This architecture increases torque density and efficiency whilst reducing energy losses and the requirement for rare-earth materials. The second patent focuses on a five-phase permanent magnet motor using a dual inverter system. This technology allows the motor to switch between modes for startup and torque demands and maintains operation if a phase failure occurs.

These technologies were developed through research and collaboration with the Visvesvaraya National Institute of Technology, Nagpur. The company recently received approval from the Government of Karnataka for a manufacturing expansion to increase powertrain production.

Vijay Kumar, Founder and CEO, Tsuyo Manufacturing, said, "These patents mark a significant milestone and recognition in our mission to develop and promote Design-In-India technology for both domestic and global EV markets. At Tsuyo, we are not merely creating components; we are engineering a comprehensive design approach, crafting fundamental technology to drive sustainable and impactful innovation. Our goal is to offer a resilient powertrain system that addresses real-world performance challenges in electric mobility. Our commitment to deep-tech innovation, supported by a strong in-house R&D team and robust academic collaborations, enables us to challenge conventional construction and topology in hardware. This approach allows us to create niche, modular designs that are manufacturable and scalable, delivering solutions that enhance efficiency, reliability, and cost-effectiveness for OEMs. We take pride in being India's fastest research and engineering startup, consistently advancing our research from TRL1 to TRL9 levels. As India moves towards electrification, we are proud to contribute to the 'Design in India, for the world' vision while expanding our IP portfolio with numerous innovations in the pipeline."

Skoda Auto Volkswagen India (SAVWIPL) has opened a new 33,000 sqft wing at its Technology Centre Pune (TCP) in Baner. The facility is designed to house 250 engineers, bringing the total engineering workforce to more than 450 across its Pune sites.

The expansion aims to increase capacity for vehicle development, platform engineering and software solutions. Staff at the Baner site will also focus on sustainable mobility and connected technologies. This centre acts as a hub for both domestic and international projects within the Volkswagen Group.

The Technology Centre Pune has previously managed the development of models for the Indian market, including the Volkswagen Taigun, the Skoda Kushaq and the Skoda Kylaq sub-4-meter SUV. The new wing is intended to improve localisation and speed up the adaptation of global platforms for local requirements.

Piyush Arora, Managing Director & CEO, Skoda Auto Volkswagen India, said, “The expansion of our R&D footprint in Pune marks another important milestone in our India journey. With the new Baner wing, we are creating additional capacity in a dynamic urban location while building on the strong foundation of our Technology Centre Pune in Chakan. As part of its long-term roadmap, TCP is set to expand its competencies in digitalization, automation, and advanced safety technologies. This combined engineering ecosystem allows us to deliver global-quality solutions with higher speed, greater localisation, and a sharper understanding of customer requirements in India and the world. It further underlines India’s position as a strategic development and competency hub for the Volkswagen Group.”
