We’re excited to be backing Umut and the Eatron team in their ambition to make ‘software-defined vehicles’ a reality.
Eatron is headquartered in the UK with a world-class R&D centre in Istanbul. It has developed a unique software platform – spanning from the edge to the cloud – which is driving significant innovation in the continuous optimisation of performance, efficiency and safety of software-defined electric vehicles.
Eatron’s innovative technology enables automotive manufacturers to de-couple complex embedded automotive software from the underlying electronic hardware through abstraction and rapidly deploy such software for serial production.
Eatron’s platform currently offers highly differentiated software applications for battery management, intelligent motion control, and advanced driver assistance for serial production. Eatron’s unique modular platform approach increases supplier choice and significantly reduces cost, risks and time to market. Each Eatron software application running on the edge is powered by AI and designed to have a cloud counterpart with analytics, offering continuous software improvements to achieve superior performance and reliability over the lifetime of the vehicles.
Because of its unique platform approach and highly differentiated technology, Eatron has seen strong demand for its offering with revenues increasing more than 500% during the past 12 months.
Eatron is currently running several advanced development programs with leading semiconductor suppliers, continuously increasing its global network of supported automotive electronics and system suppliers.
This new investment will further accelerate the development and deployment of new embedded and cloud-based intelligent features as well as fuelling an ambitious global growth of Eatron development teams in the UK, Turkey, and China.
As part of its global expansion Eatron will grow its sales teams in Germany, India and USA. This is expected to create more than 50 new jobs globally in the coming year in addition to the 50 jobs it created during the past 12 months. Check out Eatron’s open roles via the MMC jobs board.
