FPT and DENSO Sign MOU to Accelerate Software-Defined Vehicle Innovation
FPT and global automotive components manufacturer
DENSO signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to collaborate on advancing
software-defined vehicles (SDV).
Under this MOU, the two companies will develop
software for next-generation SDVs, with a particular emphasis on
mass-production projects for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). Both
companies aim to build a high-speed, high-quality global development framework,
with plans for expansion by the end of 2027. The partnership is backed by FPT’s
two decades of experience in automotive, a global team of 5,000 automotive
software engineers and experts, and a strong commitment to contributing to the
automotive industry, demonstrated by the launch of FPT Automotive in 2023.
As part of this partnership, FPT and DENSO will
establish an offshore development center for human resource development and
training. FPT will provide top-tier AI engineers and resources, while DENSO
will formulate a joint development plan and provide necessary training
platforms and personnel exchanges.
Dr Truong Gia Binh, Chairman of FPT Corporation,
said: “The automotive industry is at the crossroads of innovation, where the
future of mobility is being defined by software, intelligence, and
connectivity. Together with DENSO, we are co-creating the next generation of
AI-first SDVs—smarter, safer, and more connected than ever before. This
collaboration reflects our shared commitment to fostering global innovation and
building a sustainable, tech-driven future for the automotive industry.”
FPT and DENSO first partnered in 2017, initially
focusing on IT services and developing internal systems for DENSO Japan, before
expanding the collaboration to DENSO US. FPT also successfully spearheaded the
digital transformation of DENSO’s factory in Vietnam, setting a benchmark for innovation
that has since been scaled to factories across Asia.
