AUTOMOTIVE & MOBILITY ENGINEERING

Automotive Software Development, for telematics, connected fleets and EV charging networks.

We build the software behind connected vehicles. That means telematics pipelines that take in CAN-bus and GPS data from thousands of vehicles, EV charging back-ends that speak OCPP 1.6 and 2.0.1, peer-to-peer car-rental platforms, and fleet health tools that flag a failing component before the truck is stranded on the shoulder. Every project is designed around real vehicle data volumes and the security expectations this industry now carries.

THE MARKET SIGNAL

From selling vehicles, to running software-defined mobility.

A modern vehicle is a connected computer on wheels. OEMs, fleet operators and mobility startups are using telematics, over-the-air updates and smart charging to earn from a vehicle long after the sale, and software is what decides whether that works.

01 · SOFTWARE-DEFINED MOBILITYOEM Shift
$640B

Projected global automotive software and services market by 2031

Buyers now weigh the in-cabin experience, the phone app and remote fleet tools alongside horsepower.

OPERATIONAL REALITY

A connected platform turns a one-off vehicle sale into a recurring service relationship, and the software architecture sets how long that relationship lasts.

02 · EV INFRASTRUCTUREGrid Integration
41.8%

Projected annual growth in commercial EV charging networks

Electrifying a fleet means running a charging station management system that follows OCPP and, increasingly, ISO 15118.

OPERATIONAL REALITY

Charging a whole fleet at once spikes the utility bill. Smart scheduling and peak-shaving protect the depot's margins.

03 · FLEET DIAGNOSTICSCommercial Fleet
85%

Commercial vehicles projected to carry remote diagnostics by 2026

Fleets no longer wait for a dashboard warning light. Engine telemetry can point to a failing part days before the truck stops moving.

OPERATIONAL REALITY

A roadside breakdown means a late delivery, a tow and a driver sitting idle. Catching the fault at the depot is far cheaper.

01 / 03
WHAT'S DRIVING DEMAND

The forces changing how people and freight move.

EV adoption, standardised connected-car data, keyless rentals and tighter vehicle cybersecurity rules all raise the engineering bar. These are not weekend-project problems.
01 · CONNECTED VEHICLE DATA

Taking in Sensor Data Without Dropping Packets

A single vehicle can report thousands of parameters every second. Handling that across a whole fleet calls for event-driven pipelines built on Kafka and MQTT, not a database bolted to a REST endpoint.

02 · EV CHARGING ORCHESTRATION

OCPP Gateways and Smart Load Balancing

Thousands of chargers from different manufacturers have to be managed under OCPP 1.6 and 2.0.1, billed correctly and balanced against what the building or substation can actually deliver.

03 · KEYLESS DIGITAL ACCESS

Phone-as-Key over Bluetooth and Cloud

Peer-to-peer car sharing works only if a renter can unlock a car without meeting the owner. That takes cryptographic digital keys over Bluetooth Low Energy, plus a cellular fallback.

04 · PREDICTIVE MAINTENANCE

CAN-Bus Diagnostics and Fault-Code Alerts

Diagnostic trouble codes, coolant temperatures and battery cell variance all say something before an engine or pack fails. We turn those signals into service tickets.

05 · USAGE-BASED INSURANCE (UBI)

Driver Behaviour Scoring in Real Time

Insurers want harsh braking, rapid acceleration, speeding and night driving scored continuously, so premiums can follow how someone really drives.

06 · AUTOMOTIVE CYBERSECURITY

Meeting UNECE R155 and ISO/SAE 21434 Expectations

A connected vehicle is also an attack surface. We design encrypted vehicle-to-cloud channels with mutual authentication and signed, verifiable commands.

SOFTWARE WE SHIP

Mobility platforms for OEMs, fleet operators and mobility startups.

We take on the whole chain, from an OBD-II dongle bridge at the hardware end to the customer's mobile app and the operations dashboard at the other.
