Continuity is key to master virtual vehicle development. We support automotive manufacturers and suppliers in managing complexity and validating their development processes early, continuously, and seamlessly across the entire development lifecycle.
Our platform integrates simulation and validation from model-in-the-loop (MIL) to on-road testing, enabling teams to:
Reduce costs by detecting issues early
Save valuable time by accelerating development through fast feedback loops
Ensure quality and feature maturity before SOP
With IPG Automotive, you gain a consistent solution that covers every stage of the development process:
model-in-the-loop → software-in-the-loop → hardware-in-the-loop → test bed → driver-in-the-loop → vehicle-in-the-loop
Our entire portfolio is designed to seamlessly connect modeling, simulation, and validation in an integrated, scalable, and practical way.
Software: Continuity begins with simulation
The CarMaker product family, including CarMaker, TruckMaker, and MotorcycleMaker, supports the early integration of driving functions and components into the complete vehicle. Using virtual prototypes enables agile component development and virtual test driving in realistic scenarios. Thanks to the easy integration into existing toolchains and comprehensive automation capabilities, we make virtual development with the simulation software CarMaker scalable, repeatable, and future-ready.
Precise, integrated, and application-driven hardware
Our hardware products not only ideally complement our software solutions, but can also be used independently for individual, application-specific use cases. The key hardware is the Xpack4 real-time system, which is designed for a wide variety of applications.
SensCompute and SensInject as turnkey solutions are responsible for calculating physics-based sensor data and feeding it to ECUs.
Whether you are in the concept phase, on the test bed, or in the field, our solutions are here to help.
Test systems: From individual ECUs to complete vehicles
Hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) systems vary depending on the project and application. Whether you require a single control unit or a complex test bench, we deliver customized, turnkey test systems.
Our portfolio covers everything from steering and braking systems to ADAS sensors and highly automated driving functions – supported by software, hardware, and engineering services from a single source.
