Elektrobit and Foxconn partner to develop AI-based EV software platform
has entered into a joint development agreement with Hon Hai Technology Group (Foxconn) to co-develop EV.OS, a flexible, AI-centric software platform intended for software-defined electric vehicles (EVs). The collaboration will combine Elektrobit's experience in automotive software with Foxconn's capabilities in electronics manufacturing.
The partnership aims to create EV.OS as part of a larger smart EV platform, which will also include a reference electrical/electronic architecture (EV.EEA) and EV application. The goal is to streamline production, reduce overall system complexity and cost, and accelerate the commercialisation of
software-defined mobility solutions
.
Platform design and architecture
Once completed, EV.OS and EV.EEA will form the foundation of a scalable platform for software-defined vehicles (SDVs). The platform will support multiple high-performance and real-time
electronic control units
(ECUs), with a service-oriented architecture across various functional domains. It will also offer a semantic vehicle API to enable integration with third-party applications.
The development process will be backed by a continuous integration, testing, and deployment (CI/CT/CD) toolchain and a Level 3 virtualised environment, aimed at enhancing development efficiency and compatibility.
Maria Anhalt, CEO of Elektrobit, said, 'Elektrobit has a unique value proposition in automotive embedded software development with regards to both, development of own software products, and integration and homologation of large-scale automotive series projects."
"Our collaboration with Foxconn is another milestone in the evolution of software-defined vehicles. By combining Elektrobit's
automotive software expertise
with Foxconn's manufacturing and hardware innovation, we are creating a scalable platform that reduces complexity, shortens development cycles and supports future mobility business models,' she added.
The initiative is part of a broader effort by both companies to enable supply chain innovation and support the shift towards service-driven mobility architecture.

Foxconn's Bengaluru unit commences operation with iPhone 17 production
Taiwanese electronics giant Foxconn's Bengaluru factory, its second-largest manufacturing unit, has commenced operation with production of iPhone 17 recently at a small scale, sources aware of the development said. Foxconn is the largest manufacturer of iPhones, and the second-biggest facility outside China in Devanahalli near Bengaluru, being set up at an investment of $2.8 billion (about ₹25,000 crore). "Foxconn Bengaluru unit has commenced operation with the production of iPhone 17. This is in addition to the production of iPhone 17 at its Chennai unit," a source aware of the development said. An email query sent to Apple and Foxconn elicited no reply on the development. The production had faced a brief interruption after hundreds of Chinese engineers went back abruptly. However, Foxconn has been able to get experts from various destinations, including Taiwan, to address the gap. According to multiple sources, Apple plans to increase iPhone production to 60 million units this year from about 35-40 million units in 2024-25. Apple assembled 60 per cent more iPhones, worth an estimated $22 billion, in India in the year ended March 31, 2025. The company's CEO Tim Cook, after the financial result announcement on July 31, said the majority of the iPhones sold in the US in June 2025 originated from India. Cook, during the second-quarter earnings call, had announced that all iPhones sold in the US in the June quarter will be shipped from India. According to an analysis by S&P Global, iPhone sales in the US were 75.9 million units in 2024, with March exports from India at 3.1 million units, suggesting a need to double shipments either through new capacity or redirecting shipments bound for the domestic market. Apple's supplies within India grew by 21.5 per cent annually to 5.9 million units in the first half of 2025, with iPhone 16 being the highest-shipped model across the country during the period. During the second quarter, Apple's iPhone supplies in India grew 19.7 per cent year-on-year in the June 2025 quarter, clocking 7.5 per cent market share in the country's smartphone market. The overall smartphone market in India during the June quarter was led by Chinese smartphone maker Vivo, which captured 19 per cent share, as per IDC.
