Software Defined Vehicle (SDV) and Digital Transformation initiatives are revolutionizing the mobility experience.   To keep advancing in this fast-paced world, FORVIA joins Connected Vehicle Systems Alliance (COVESA) Board members alongside Ford, BMW, Stellantis, Bosch, Aptiv and others to contribute and accelerate the development of open standards and technologies for connected vehicles. Dr. Tara Akhavan, Software Solutions & Ecosystem VP will represent FORVIA on the COVESA Board.   COVESA is a global alliance that brings together like-minded leaders to develop and unlock the full potential of connected vehicles, and FORVIA was already a co-chair working in standardizing the Android Automotive platform to onboard more app developers, so bringing more apps into the car.   How do we see connectivity in the car environment? Through… 👉 More top apps available in more cars 👉 Better protection of driver’s data (cybersecurity) 👉 Common vehicle interfaces 👉 Improved safety systems, among many other advantages.   Now, how have we been working in connectivity? Well, our joint venture Faurecia Aptoide Automotive, created a standard white labeled platform called “Apps market”, where we bring top apps from the smartphone directly into the car, connecting the digital world to the cockpit environment.   Stay tuned on our journey towards connectivity.

By mid-2024, we will fully electrify two of our R&D centers in Bavans and Seloncourt, France, through two services contracts with Schneider Electric! Facilities heating and distribution systems will be retrofitted, employing state-of-the-art technologies. This will help the Bavans site save an estimated 2.6 GWh of natural gas consumption and the Seloncourt one 540 MWh per year. The two projects are expected to achieve respectively 85% and 100% reduction in CO2 emissions, accelerating FORVIA’s objective to reach Net Zero emissions across all three scopes by 2045. “Many other sites will follow to reach net-zero emission in scopes 1 and 2 as early as 2025,” said Elisabeth Delval, Group Sustainability Vice President at #FORVIA.
