ELIVTECH delivers embedded software, ADAS, EV powertrain, and connected-vehicle solutions that help automotive teams meet ISO 26262, UNECE R155, and ASPICE requirements.
The automotive sector is undergoing its most profound reinvention since the combustion engine — vehicles are becoming rolling software platforms, and the organisations that master embedded software, AI-driven safety systems, and connected services will define the next generation of mobility. ELIVTECH partners with OEMs and suppliers to turn that shift into shipped product.
Global automotive software market size (USD billion, 2021-2025)
EVs surpassed 20% of new-car sales globally for the first time in 2024, driven by China (11 million units), rapid uptake across South-East Asia, and sustained growth in Europe. Software now accounts for the largest single line in OEM R&D budgets — automakers collectively spent close to 40 billion EUR on software development in 2024 alone.
A modern premium vehicle runs more than 500 million lines of code across 150+ ECUs. Coordinating this without introducing regressions or safety violations demands rigorous processes that most in-house teams are not resourced for.
Security researchers identified over 530 new automotive vulnerabilities in 2024. Every connected feature — OTA update, V2X link, or telematics channel — is a potential attack surface requiring continuous threat modelling and patch management.
ADAS software vendors must demonstrate functional safety at Automotive Safety Integrity Level (ASIL) D. Exhaustive scenario simulation, hardware-in-the-loop (HiL) testing, and formal verification multiply development timelines without the right toolchain.
Battery management systems (BMS), motor control units, and thermal management algorithms must operate within tight real-time constraints. Incorrect state-of-charge estimation degrades range and, at extremes, causes thermal runaway.
Global semiconductor shortages exposed the fragility of just-in-time manufacturing. Automotive supply chains now demand real-time inventory visibility, supplier risk analytics, and predictive logistics — capabilities that legacy ERP systems cannot provide.
UNECE R155/R156 became mandatory for all new vehicles in the EU from July 2024. New ISO/SAE 21434 obligations, evolving ASPICE 4.0 process requirements, and regional emissions rules create a compliance treadmill that consumes engineering bandwidth.
Modern vehicles are moving from 100+ scattered ECUs to a layered architecture where a few high-performance computers run software that updates over the air. Here is the picture ELIVTECH helps clients build toward:
Layered architecture of a software-defined vehicle
We design and implement AUTOSAR Classic and Adaptive stacks, write MISRA-C compliant code, and integrate BSWs and RTE configurations across multi-ECU architectures — cutting integration effort and reducing ASIL certification cycles.
Our engineers build perception pipelines (camera, LiDAR, radar sensor fusion), path-planning algorithms, and simulation environments using CARLA and dSPACE, validated against ISO 26262 ASIL-B/D requirements.
We deliver telematics control units (TCU), OTA update infrastructure, and V2X middleware compliant with ETSI ITS and IEEE 802.11p, enabling remote diagnostics, usage-based insurance, and fleet management at scale.
From battery management system (BMS) firmware to thermal management controllers and charging station APIs (OCPP 2.0.1), we accelerate EV platform development while meeting functional safety and EMC targets.
Predictive maintenance models trained on sensor data, computer-vision defect inspection, and digital twin simulations help OEMs reduce unplanned downtime by 20-35% and improve first-pass yield on production lines.
We deliver Threat Analysis and Risk Assessment (TARA) per ISO/SAE 21434, implement intrusion detection systems (IDS) on vehicle networks, and support OEM Cyber Security Management System (CSMS) documentation required under UNECE R155.
Automotive software must meet a dense matrix of safety, security, environmental, and process standards. ELIVTECH teams maintain active competency in each of the following.
| Standard / Regulation | Scope | ELIVTECH Coverage |
|---|---|---|
| ISO 26262 | Functional safety of E/E systems (ASIL A-D) | ✓ Hazard analysis, safety cases, ASIL decomposition |
| ISO/SAE 21434 | Cybersecurity engineering across the vehicle lifecycle | ✓ TARA, CSMS design, threat monitoring |
| UNECE R155 / R156 | Mandatory cybersecurity & OTA software update type-approval (EU & others) | ✓ Type-approval documentation, SUMS design |
| AUTOSAR (Classic & Adaptive) | Standardised vehicle software architecture | ✓ BSW configuration, SWC authoring, service-oriented architecture |
| ASPICE v4.0 | Software process capability assessment for Tier 1/2 suppliers | ✓ Process design, gap analysis, assessor preparation |
| MISRA C:2023 / C++:2023 | Safe C/C++ coding guidelines for embedded systems | ✓ Static analysis integration, deviation management |
| GDPR / UN R155 data rules | Privacy of personal and vehicle-generated data | ✓ Data minimisation, consent flows, data-at-rest encryption |
| Euro 7 / EPA Tier 3 | Emissions and fuel-economy reporting software | ✓ OBD-II and OBDC calibration, emission software audits |
Inventory existing ECUs, software components, and toolchains. Map against ISO 26262 / ASPICE maturity targets and identify cybersecurity attack surfaces via TARA workshops.
Consolidate ECUs onto high-performance compute (HPC) nodes running AUTOSAR Adaptive. Introduce CI/CD pipelines with HiL-in-the-loop gates and MISRA-compliant static analysis.
Deploy UNECE R156-compliant Software Update Management System (SUMS). Launch V2X and telematics services. Integrate with cloud analytics for fleet health monitoring and usage data.
Extend ADAS sensor-fusion stack toward L3+ autonomy. Deploy predictive maintenance digital twins on production lines. Continuously close the loop with real-world data to improve models.
Behind the standards and acronyms, working with ELIVTECH on automotive software comes down to four outcomes that matter to your board and your customers:
Reusable AUTOSAR building blocks, ready toolchains, and engineers who already know your standards mean new features and models reach the road in fewer cycles — not stalled in integration.
ISO 26262 safety cases and UNECE R155 cybersecurity are built in from day one, so type-approval is smoother and recalls, fines, and reputational damage stay off the table.
Over-the-air updates let you fix, improve, and sell new features to vehicles already on the road — turning each car into an ongoing revenue relationship, not a one-time sale.
Predictive maintenance and computer-vision inspection cut unplanned downtime by 20-35% and lift first-pass yield — lower warranty costs and more vehicles out the door.
Partner with ELIVTECH to modernize, automate, and scale with confidence.
