In addition, the achievements of 2025 continue to resonate across the ecosystem: from the release of Eclipse S-CORE 0.5 Beta<\/a> and the first open diagnostics stack with Eclipse OpenSOVD<\/a>, to concrete progress on functional safety, governance, and global community growth. These milestones marked a shift from establishing foundations to delivering tangible, open solutions for the automotive industry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Leveraging on our newest strategic member TRATON, we aim at expanding our platform to the commercial vehicle ecosystem with focus on the particular features of handling highly heterogeneous fleets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In 2026 we will also strengthen the Eclipse SDV role in EU led initiatives, by participating actively in the European Connected Vehicle Alliance (ECAVA)<\/a>, positioning the Eclipse Foundation as the go-to ecosystem to host automotive open source initiatives. <\/p>\n\n\n\n With that strong base in place, 2026 is about execution and impact. The community is advancing toward Eclipse S-CORE 1.0, strengthening Functional Safety through Eclipse TSF,<\/a> expanding AI-assisted cloud-native tooling, and broadening international collaboration. What lies ahead reflects not only technical maturity, but the power of open collaboration to accelerate software-defined vehicle development across the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Equally important is the role of the community itself. Whether you contribute code, share expertise, or simply follow project progress, your engagement matters. Eclipse SDV is shaped by its contributors and adopters, and 2026 offers many opportunities to get involved, influence direction, and help turn open innovation into real-world impact across the automotive value chain. To foster this growth, we want to make it easier to get to know the Eclipse SDV activities, actors and projects, by improving the quality, breadth, and accessibility of information on our website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Keep reading the latest edition of our Eclipse SDV Newsletter<\/a><\/em> and subscribe here<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"banner](\"https:\/\/eclipsesdv.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/SDV-Newsletter-Subscribe-1024x512.png\")
