Siemens to Equip StreetScooter Electric Vehicle with Innovative Electronics and Software

Siemens’ central research department and the electric vehicle manufacturer StreetScooter agreed today to equip an electric car with an innovative electronic and software architecture. The associated technology was developed during the RACE project.

Siemens is the consortium leader of the research project, which receives funding from the German Ministry of Economic Affairs and Energy.

For the first time ever, the architecture will make it possible to retrofit functions such as electrical brakes and systems such as lane-keeping assistants using a plug-and-play process like on home PCs.

The two companies plan to incorporate the RACE architecture into an electric delivery vehicle by December 2014. The work will be conducted at Siemens’ research center in Munich, Germany.

The partnership’s aim is to test the new technology in practice for the first time.
