Elektrobit accelerates Software-Defined Vehicle cockpit development with new EB civion suite
Press Release, 7 January 2026
Elektrobit has introduced EB civion, a new suite of software solutions designed to help automakers speed up the creation of digital cockpits for software-defined vehicles (SDVs) while improving control over their supply chains. Unveiled at CES 2026 in Las Vegas, the platform brings together cloud-native tools, modular software and ready-to-integrate hardware-agnostic components to streamline how cockpit interfaces and applications are built and deployed in modern vehicles.
The EB civion ecosystem is made up of three core elements that cover key phases of cockpit development. EB civion Creator offers a cloud-based virtual environment where designers and engineers can rapidly prototype and test human-machine interfaces (HMIs) and apps without reliance on physical hardware. EB civion Core provides a suite of modular, hardware-agnostic software assets tailored for cockpit domain controllers, helping reduce complexity and development costs. Finally, EB civion Cockpit delivers build-to-print domain controller solutions with integrated system software optimized for specific system-on-chip (SoC) platforms, enabling faster time-to-market and stronger supply-chain control.
Elektrobit says the platform empowers OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers by shifting many traditional development challenges into cloud-native and scalable software workflows. This helps shorten development cycles, reduce total cost of ownership, and give teams the flexibility to adapt solutions across different vehicle models and hardware configurations. The suite also reflects growing industry demand for software-centric vehicle architectures, where digital cockpit experiences are increasingly central to customer satisfaction and differentiation.
Supported by partnerships with leading technology providers like AMD, AWS, Google, Infineon and Qualcomm Technologies, EB civion is positioned as a comprehensive toolkit for cockpit innovation. At CES 2026, Elektrobit will also showcase related technologies including high-performance Linux systems for safety-critical functions, scalable ECU development tools, and next-generation electric vehicle platforms.
With digital cockpits becoming a core part of the SDV experience, EB civion aims to help automakers build richer in-vehicle interfaces more efficiently, marking a notable step in the evolution of automotive software development.
