In line with the EU Strategic Research and Innovation priorities on Electronic Components and Systems, key European industrial companies, research organizations, and academic organizations from eleven countries started a three-year project to pioneer innovative methods, technologies, and processes for series vehicle development beyond 2030.
The HAL4SDV project mission is to advance European solutions in software-defined vehicles (SDV) and next-generation vehicles. It aims to harmonize efforts across Europe, creating a comprehensive SDV ecosystem while leveraging existing national projects and international R&D activities. By focusing on unifying software interfaces and development methodologies, HAL4SDV will enable software configuration that abstracts from vehicle hardware, paving the way for a “software-defined vehicle” approach for both safety-critical and non-safety-critical applications in future vehicles.
Beyond technological innovation, HAL4SDV underpins Europe’s automotive industry, sustains its competitive edge, and accelerates green and digital transitions, both fostering collaboration and promoting sustainability across the automotive ecosystem.
