Aptiv Krakow #OneTeam
It all started over two decades ago. Back then, the leadership team came to Krakow with a mission to find young engineers to be the first to join our team. During a long interview process held in the remarkable Forum hotel, they selected seven of the most talented people. The “lucky seven” were the ones who started to create the spirit and legacy of our Technical Center. And did you know - six of them still work for Aptiv today, among 3000 others! The 20th anniversary of our Krakow Technical Center is the perfect moment to celebrate all of our achievements, breakthrough technologies and most importantly, the team that shapes the future of mobility every single day.

The Team that has been working on technologies showcased at CES
Most people never think about vehicle features such as electronic doors and windows, electronic steering and braking, dynamic suspension and propulsion, or keyless access — despite using them every day. This is where the expertise of Aptiv’s Connectivity & Security team comes along. The Krakow team contributed to building Aptiv’s solution – the Secure Connected Gateway that manages the network in the vehicle, and is responsible for security, data collection and analytics. The gateway acts as a single point of entry into and exit out of the vehicle, providing fewer attack surfaces. Kudos to our cybersecurity experts!
Meet the Aptiv crew responsible for electronics, mechanical and product engineering.
The Team that knows how to turn € into a safer, greener and more connected future
Currently, driving simulators and traffic simulation models have limited use in safety studies due to the limited realism of road users’ behaviors in models. SIMUSAFE (SIMUlator of Behavioral Aspects for SAFEr Transport) - a project financed by the European Commission under the Horizon 2020 program, developed by our Advanced Engineering team. Using a three-phase research cycle, SIMUSAFE will bridge this gap by collecting and integrating sources of road user behavior to build more realistic simulation environments.
It's not the only project we research with the support of EU subventions. In parallel, our teams are engaged in development of the advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and the Interior Sensing Platform. The last one, allows a car to detect when a driver is distracted or unaware of a hazard outside the vehicle and proactively warns them to prevent a life-threatening incident before it occurs. Kudos to the teams that makes our world safer!
Check how the research part of the SIMUSAFE project works in practice.
