Aptiv Connected Services

UNLOCK THE POWER OF DATA ACROSS THE VEHICLE LIFECYCLE

Putting Insights in Motion


Innovations such as advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), electrification and software-defined vehicle capabilities generate more data than ever. That vehicle data can be tremendously valuable — but only when paired with a cost-effective way to extract insights hidden within the data.

Aptiv Connected Services offers data acquisition and analysis solutions for pre-production and production vehicles. Our technology can help test and validate vehicles in development, reduce warranty and recall costs, lower the total cost of ownership for a fleet, and minimize vehicle downtime.

Proven Experience


More than 70 percent of the world’s leading vehicle manufacturers rely on Aptiv for pre-production validation and testing.

Why? Unlike competing products, Aptiv Connect was built by engineers with decades of automotive experience. The result is a turnkey platform that anticipates OEMs’ needs with pre-configured settings and reports.

We’ve saved manufacturers millions of dollars by helping to prevent warranty issues. That same technology now powers second-generation tools that monitor and analyze vehicles in production and post-production.

Automotive consumers have embraced vehicle connectivity, and so have automakers: Some estimates put the potential value of connectivity as high as $750 billion worldwide by 2030. But for any vehicle connectivity solution to be successful, it has to have three key elements: flexibility, intelligence and financial benefits.FlexibilityFirst, the solution must be highly flexible, meaning it should allow an OEM to quickly adapt it to various configuration requirements depending on its unique objective.

Automotive consumers have embraced vehicle connectivity, and so have automakers: Some estimates put the potential value of connectivity as high as $750 billion worldwide by 2030. But for any vehicle connectivity solution to be successful, it has to have three key elements: flexibility, intelligence and financial benefits.

Flexibility

First, the solution must be highly flexible, meaning it should allow an OEM to quickly adapt it to various configuration requirements depending on its unique objective. The solution should:

  • Work with whatever cloud platform the OEM chooses. Aptiv’s solution is cloud-agnostic, whether the preferred platform is an OEM’s proprietary cloud, Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, Google Web services, fleet SaaS applications or other clouds.
  • Provide an intelligent multi-platform edge client. Aptiv made the Connect Edge client software compatible with most Linux-based hardware units.
  • Give developers APIs that enable them to build functionality upon it. We know that OEMs are looking to integrate with third parties, so our APIs enable developers to integrate rich vehicle data into their applications and those from many different mobility SaaS providers.

These features allow OEMs to tailor the solution for their particular needs and then scale it quickly.

Intelligence

Second, the solution has to be intelligent enough to provide meaningful insights. 

Aptiv provides end-to-end preproduction hardware and software validation solutions for more than 70% of the world’s leading OEMs. We have deep domain expertise into what data really matters inside a vehicle. Forget the haystack – we know where to find the needles and do it efficiently. With that knowledge, we can send just the critical pieces of data to the cloud, rather than all data.

In addition, our device can automatically determine the electrical architecture and the features that are installed on the vehicle by reading its VIN – which means it knows what data to collect and analyze.

Financial benefits

Third, the solution has to deliver tangible financial benefits for both the consumer and the OEM.

It also lets customers know vehicle health statistics such as fuel level, tire pressure and oil life, and alert customers if those become critical.

Our aftermarket solution can enable fleets with select models dating back to 2011 to be connected on the same platform.

Aptiv’s Connect Edge combines all three of these elements into a hardware and software solution.
