Shift2SDV arrives to smoothly manage the complexity of the automotive sector
How a common middleware framework can support security systems, mobility functions and microservices for application creation, starting from existing hardware.
Shift2SDV is creating an agile, innovative and profitable European ecosystem for software-defined vehicles (SDVs). We are building a common, language-independent middleware framework with microservices that abstract hardware components. This will help manage the complexity of the automotive domain and enable a smooth and gradual transition from today’s monolithic systems.

Our Solution
- Enable Transition: We will move the industry from monolithic systems to a modular framework, providing defined building blocks and interfaces that reduce costs and eliminate vendor lock-in.
- Build on Lower Levels: leverage existing hardware abstraction levels, collaborating with other initiatives to create a unified framework that can become an industry standard.
- From Research to Innovation: we will develop core components and validate them through real-world use cases to ensure our framework is practical and can be integrated into industrial processes.
Advantages
- Develop a modern, flexible micro-services-based architecture to support safe and secure configuration and updateability.
- Develop a framework simplifying the development of differentiating brand applications.
- Develop an orchestration that efficiently manages shared resources and safety demands.
- Develop a framework that spreads over the edge device to integrate cloud and back-end.
- Demonstrate the viability of the developed middleware by implementing concrete use cases.
