EB civion Cockpit – Cockpit domain controller solutions combining build-to-print designs and system software for specific SoCs.

This comprehensive approach empowers customers to:

Accelerate time-to-market using cloud native, rapid-prototyping development cycles with mature, modular target software for real-time, high-performance infotainment functionalities.
Reduce complexity and total cost of ownership (TCO) through modular target software, hardware-agnostic development and testing.
Scale supply chain control across platforms with pre-integrated solutions for leading SoCs enabling a build-to-print approach.

EB civion encapsulates Elektrobit’s decades of experience with a strong ecosystem of partners and leading technology providers including AMD, AWS, Google, Infineon and Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. These collaborations ensure automotive customers benefit from cloud-native services, cutting-edge hardware integration and scalable architectures.

“Next-gen digital cockpits are the centerpiece of the consumer in-vehicle experience, so selecting the right software for development is critical,” said Maria Anhalt, CEO of Elektrobit. “EB civion is redefining how automotive OEMs and suppliers approach cockpit development – we’re accelerating time to market performance and empowering greater supply chain control, while providing the SDV with off-the-shelf software that is ready for integration to ultimately reduce TCO. EB civion gives our customers the tools and solutions that transform complexity into opportunity.”
