What is Eclipse SDV?

Eclipse SDV is the leading open source automotive ecosystem, uniting automakers, suppliers, and technology leaders to build the software foundation for the next generation of mobility. Hosted by the Eclipse Foundation, it provides a vendor-neutral and code-first platform where organisations collaborate to develop modular, industry-ready software building blocks for modern vehicle architectures.

World's leading open source automotive ecosystem

Why Eclipse SDV?

The transition to software-defined vehicles requires more than isolated innovation. It requires a shared, open foundation that the automotive ecosystem can align around.

Eclipse SDV exists to define that foundation, providing the structure, governance and technical alignment required to build automotive-grade software at scale.

Establishing a shared platform for architectural alignment, modern development practices, and open collaboration reduces duplicated effort and enables organisations to innovate faster while lowering cost and complexity.
