Siemens drives next-generation vehicle development

March 2026 IT in Manufacturing

The Siemens PAVE360 Automotive technology is a new category of digital twin software that is pre-integrated and designed as an off-the-shelf offering to address the escalating complexity of automotive hardware and software integration. It empowers automotive manufacturers and suppliers to speed the development of software-defined vehicles (SDVs) with early full-system, virtual integration that mirrors real vehicle hardware, and accelerates both application and low-level software development for ADAS, AD and IVI.

This removes the need for customers to build their own digital twins before testing software, significantly reducing time to market for critical applications from months to days.

With vehicle hardware and software complexity rising at an unprecedented rate, development teams face mounting pressure to deliver innovation faster and compete with new market entrants while meeting increasingly sophisticated consumer expectations. Traditional development methodologies are no longer sufficient to manage system-level interdependencies between ADAS, AD and IVI functions, and a new approach is required.

“The automotive industry is at the forefront of the ‘software-defined everything’ revolution, and Siemens is delivering the digital twin technologies needed to move beyond incremental innovation and embrace a holistic, software-defined approach to product development,” said Tony Hemmelgarn, president and CEO of Siemens Digital Industries Software. “System-level digital twins for SDVs using existing technologies can be complex and time consuming to create and validate. To solve this bottleneck, PAVE360 Automotive delivers a fully integrated, system-level digital twin that can be deployed on day one, reducing the time, effort and cost required to build such environments from scratch.”
