Global scale-up of software and electronics expertise for cybersecurity and system-wide efficiency increase
Summary
As a result of the optimised and internationally connected organisation, an influx of experts in the field, and a high level of deep understanding of all kinds of electric drive systems, hofer powertrain realises the most advanced control software applications and hardware components, achieving the best possible integration with other vehicle components. The new cybersecurity standards affect the entire software development process, from the requirements to the software architecture, implementation, and testing," answers Tamas KRIKLER when asked about the key driver in the expansion process. As of summer 2022, Tamas KRIKLER has been in charge of the large software division, which is spread across several hofer powertrain locations and supports some of the most renowned OEMs, including successful young industry players, as a technology and engineering partner. Given these new legal directives governing the protection of vehicle data and the increasing popularity of cloud-based applications in e-mobility, any system vulnerabilities can be detected by means of analyses and corrected in the subsequent step. For this purpose, a secure environment has been set up to achieve quick and reliable project results.
