EDAG and Bosch Engineering collaborate on complete vehicle development

EDAG Engineering GmbH and Bosch Engineering GmbH have signed a memorandum of understanding for project-based collaboration in complete vehicle development. Customers benefit from a single-source product without having to worry about coordinating individual development areas.

“Increasingly stringent environmental and sustainability requirements and trends like the software-defined vehicle are leading to greater complexity in vehicle development. By leveraging our mutual synergies, we can bring new vehicles to the road even faster and more cost-effectively with our customers,” says Dr. Johannes-Jörg Rüger, Managing Director at Bosch Engineering.

Extensive Range of Services

Both companies offer an extensive range of services related to electronic systems, for example, concerning E/E networks, hardware and software architectures, feature development, and component specification as well as derivative development, system integration, test execution, and production planning. The development expertise of both companies thus includes the entire spectrum of design and engineering services from pre-development to the delivery of complete vehicles and production facilities. This includes, among other things, styling, virtual modeling, electronics and software development, prototype construction, hardware testing, and the provision of technical services and production techniques. Validated simulation procedures, the digital twin of product and production, and comprehensive know-how in the direction of the smart factory are intended to ensure high quality, safety, agility, and flexibility in the development and production process.

Long-term Collaboration

The declaration of intent by both companies is based on a long-term collaboration, on the basis of which joint projects in complete vehicle development for automotive manufacturers have already been implemented in the past. This agreement will further intensify this cooperation.
