SAN JOSE, Calif. and LOS ANGELES, Feb. 13, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Today, connected vehicle technology company Sibros announced its production-ready collaboration with Xos, Inc., a leader in manufacturing Class 5 through Class 8 battery-electric vehicles. The collaboration brings advanced connected fleet capabilities and services to customers of Xos’ first-class electric vehicle lineup. Since Sibros’ connected solutions were deployed on Xos’ vehicles, the company has been successfully performing over-the-air (OTA) updates, data collection, and remote commands to manage their fleet effectively, diagnose and address problems in the field, and further accelerate the adoption of clean and efficient transportation solutions across North America.
Xos’ battery-electric stepvans are already in production with notable fleets such as Loomis, Penske, and UniFirst and will be empowered by Sibros’ Deep Connected Platform. Sibros’ suite of secure in-vehicle and cloud applications are designed to manage software and data throughout the full vehicle lifecycle and have been deployed on the Xos software-defined vehicle architecture for its stepvan. By harnessing live microcontroller and sensor data, enabling OTA updates of mixed-criticality, and facilitating remote diagnostic and end-user commands, the Sibros and Xos partnership is set to redefine fleet management efficiencies and driver and fleet operator experiences.
Key enhancements propelled by this alliance include:
- Rapid deployment of OTA software updates and upgrades, ensuring fleet readiness in an evolving regulatory environment .
- Enhanced diagnostics for real-time fleet monitoring, predictive maintenance, and streamlined warranty validation processes.
- Remote diagnostics and troubleshooting to minimize downtime and optimize operational efficiencies.
- Vehicle health monitoring and analytics to drive proactive maintenance and potentially reduce total cost of ownership.
