Urban EV maker e.Go will incorporate technology from US connected vehicle platform Sibros in its future models. The German car maker will use Sibros’s Deep Connected Platform for vehicle-wide data management and over-the-air (OTA) software updates. e.GO began sales of its newly launched electric vehicle, the e.wave X in October 2022.

e.Go says that the partnership will “enable smarter, more seamless connected mobility, leveraging the power of data.” The partnership is also seen as opening up market opportunities for e.Go in fleet management.

Sibros’ connected vehicle solution will take advantage of various industry partnerships, including Google Cloud for Automotive.

“Sibros’ comprehensive connected vehicle product suite provides vehicle manufacturers with data-driven insights, empowering them to make informed decisions while helping to accelerate their efforts in product enhancement and user experience,” said Hemant Sikaria, CEO of Sibros. “Innovators like e.GO leverage Sibros’ deep and secure vehicle-to-cloud capabilities to help accelerate their journey and position them at the forefront of the industry. As a leader in the connected vehicle technology space, we’re excited to deploy our award-winning Deep Connected Platform on the e.wave X and grow our strategic partnership over the coming years, rethinking connected and sustainable mobility in urban environments.”

“The growing integration of multiple domains in the automotive universe, including connected vehicles, vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication and ultimately autonomous mobility, are meant to validate the software-defined connected urban cars of the future and that is what makes us very excited about this partnership,” said Ali Vezvaei, chairman of the board at e.GO. “We aspire to offer our customers the freedom and choice to select connected services that fit to their needs, whether in charging, sharing, insurance or connected drive, essentially this may convert their e.wave X to a smartphone on four wheels.”
