Electrical Distribution Systems
The world’s leader in electrical architectures for vehicles
We engineer and manufacture a full range of power and signal distribution systems, including the high-speed data and high-power electrical systems needed to build feature-rich, highly automated, electric vehicles.
Enabling safer, greener and more connected solutions
Signals transmission and power distribution at the right time to the right place
We have been designing electrical architectures for more than 100 years and leading the industry in the evolution of vehicle architectures.
We like to think of the electrical distribution system as a nervous system, moving power and data throughout a vehicle. High-speed data transmission systems send information from the vehicle’s eyes and ears (sensors) to the brain (computing platforms).
We bring our deep experience and systems integration expertise, whether we are building to print or providing full design services of the entire vehicle electrical architecture. We solve our customers’ most challenging problems.
Powering the EVs of Today and Tomorrow
Aptiv’s signal and power distribution solutions accelerate the electrified, automated, sustainable and software-defined future of mobility by optimizing electrical architectures in ways no one else can.
Solving Automation’s Greatest Challenge
As OEMs automate the assembly of their vehicles, there is one element that is still not automated – and it is one of the largest and most complex. Our experts discuss how Aptiv is helping OEMs tackle this challenge.
Engineering Tomorrow’s Car
A Track Record of Innovative Technology Solutions and Systems Integration
Designing all-electric vehicles requires a fundamental rethink of all aspects of vehicle architecture. Aptiv engineers and manufactures a wide range of technologies that enable the electric vehicles being designed today, including:
- High-voltage cabling
- High-voltage connectors
- Internal battery connections
- Charging cable sets and inlets
- Power distribution boxes and battery disconnect units
Systems Expertise
It’s much more than the sum of parts
Aptiv’s expertise in software, electronics design, and system architecture optimization uniquely positions us to provide solutions across the spectrum of architecture types. We provide analytical tools and services that include:
- Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) experts, EMC chambers and a unique design and testing approach to ensure that electrical components don’t interfere with other vehicle systems
- Aptiv’s Velocity Tool Suite, software that predicts and improves electrical system reliability and enables the optimization needed for Smart Vehicle ArchitectureTM
