Serve commercial vehicle segments with common platforms
The rise in urbanization, the growth of e-commerce, and the shift towards sustainable and efficient mobility solutions are fueling a surge in demand for commercial vehicles of all types. Catering to a diverse set of customers and markets using common vehicle platforms is paramount for vehicle manufacturers in order to profitably capitalize on this surge in demand.
Add flexibility to vehicle platforms with Sonatus Foundation
Vehicles for market segments such as passenger transport, package delivery, recreation and utility services, can all share a common platform. Yet each requires variations in electrical and electronics for cameras, sensors, lighting, displays, passenger comfort, telematics, and more.
