Mahindra to deploy OTA solutions by Sibros for its electric SUV portfolio

Silicon Valley USA-based Sibros has announced its collaboration with Mumbai-based Mahindra & Mahindra for over-the-air update solutions that will be deployed on the OEM’s Born Electric portfolio of electric SUVs. Sibros will deploy its Deep Logger and Deep Updater in-vehicle and cloud products on Mahindra’s INGLO EV platform (the backbone of its new EV architecture) and IoT cloud.

Mahindra unveiled its Born Electric Vision in August 2022, which encompasses 5 new electric SUVs positioned under its XUV brand and an all-new electric-only brand called BE. The new electric SUVs will be built in Mahindra’s EV manufacturing facility at Pune. The company is investing $1.21 billion in the new EV plant to produce world-class e-SUVs.

Combining these technologies into one vehicle-to-cloud ecosystem will accelerate Mahindra’s pursuit of delivering manufacturing efficiencies and immersive new connected experiences for its customers – elevating its core objective to offer an unmatched value proposition.

“The Sibros platform was purpose-built for the future of connected vehicles by providing an adaptable and integrated approach to harness the full power of software and data across the entire product life cycle”, stated Mayank Sikaria, President and Co-Founder of Sibros. “By blending Sibros’ technology with Mahindra’s future-ready INGLO EV platform, Mahindra further cements its position as a technology-driven company leading the electric mobility revolution with their exhilarating new lineup of connected e-SUVs,” added Mr Sikaria.

Sibros’ technology will enable Mahindra to unify live data collection with smart software updates, diagnostic commands and service management to work seamlessly together while meeting crucial safety, security and privacy requirements that unlock new value creation opportunities, from the factory to field, including:

– Rapid prototyping with software configuration management and on-demand debugging during development and testing phases

– Optimized maintenance and service management with virtual mechanic, predictive data insights and continuous remote updates

– New digital experiences and rich connected features such as digital keys, car sharing, vehicle personalization and more

– Improved vehicle safety and security with updates over-the-air for electronic components and access to high-precision vehicle data

“Under our Born Electric Vision, Mahindra aims to electrify not only our roads but also the hearts and minds of our customers in India and around the world while rising to fight climate change by offering sustainable personal mobility solutions,” stated Velusamy R, President Automotive Technology and Product Development, Mahindra & Mahindra. “Sibros brings fresh thinking and technology to complement Mahindra’s EV strategy as we focus on creating transformative value for customers through intelligently connected and digitally immersive experiences,” added Velusamy R.
