Dependable solutions for future mobility and zonal E/E architectures

The developments from a central power distribution (Domain Architecture) towards a decentralized zonal architecture will enable the implementation of more “functionalities” in the car. The goal with zonal architecture is to ensure a dependable and highly available power net.

Zonal E/E architecture eases complexity:

Software and hardware scalability
Reduce overall wire harness length
Weight and manufacturability issues

Dependable systems…

enable the implementation of zonal architectures
and further reduce complexity by safeguarding system security, safety and availability
