Enabling Next Generation Connected Vehicle Architecture

Use Case: WABCO / VECV – aQuila UX101-AL & AL++

Introduction

As commercial vehicle OEMs accelerate the transition toward connected and software-defined vehicles, they require telematics platforms that can deliver real-time connectivity, higher computing capability, edge intelligence and scalable vehicle operations.

VECV, one of India’s leading commercial vehicle manufacturers, shifted from the existing WABCO solution to aQuila UX101-AL & AL++ to power its connected vehicle programme in India.

The transition enabled enhanced scalability, real-time analytics, ECU FOTA capabilities and domain-specific intelligence while strengthening operational control and customer experience.

The Challenge

The connected vehicle programme required a solution capable of supporting increasing data, connectivity and software-management requirements while maintaining cost efficiency.

Key requirements included:

Scalable Connectivity: Support for a growing connected vehicle ecosystem and increasing data requirements.
Higher Computing Capability: Enable advanced analytics and future connected vehicle applications.
Real-Time Intelligence: Process and analyse vehicle data closer to the vehicle through edge capabilities.
Remote Software Management: Support ECU FOTA and remote configuration.
Regulatory Compliance: Ensure compliance with AIS 140 requirements across vehicle operations.
Cost Optimisation: Deliver enhanced 4G capabilities while maintaining an efficient overall solution cost.
