Next.e.GO Mobile SE & Sibros Announce Connected Vehicle Data Partnership

Germany's Next.e.GO Mobile SE (e.GO), a producer of urban electric vehicles (EVs), has announced a strategic partnership with connected vehicle platform company Sibros, to deploy connected mobility solutions into its new vehicles. e.GO selected Sibros' Deep Connected Platform for vehicle-wide data management and over-the-air (OTA) software updates to further improve the customer experience.

The data collection will create insights and enable a range of connected and value-added fleet services, while OTA software updates are intended to allow all vehicles to evolve and improve the customer experience across the life cycle of the vehicle. 

Aachen-based e.GO announced the start of sales of its newly launched electric vehicle, the e.wave X, in October, 2022.

The e.wave X is a purpose-built battery electric vehicle for the urban environment.

It features replaceable and recyclable polymer skins and exchangeable batteries that are designed to power a low maintenance and long-lasting electric drivetrain.

Ali Vezvaei, chairman of the board at e.GO, says: "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. 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."

 e.GO designs and manufactures battery EVs for the urban environment, with a focus on convenience, reliability and affordability.

It has developed a solution for producing its electric vehicles using proprietary technologies and low cost MicroFactories, and has vehicles already on the road today.
