Stoneridge has announced additional details of its new EVO ECU Platform, which will debut at IAA Transportation 2026 in Hanover, Germany, from September 14-20. This new platform targets commercial vehicles, buses, coaches, and off-highway applications, seeking to make the electronic system simpler while offering connectivity, diagnostics, software updates and future software-based capabilities. EVO integrates processes that typically are performed in several electronic control units in a single architecture making it easier to update software, perform diagnostics and introduce new functionalities without having to modify the hardware. In terms of the advantages for fleet operators, EVO is meant to improve vehicle availability by way of enhanced diagnostics, remote software updates and vehicle intelligence.

Modularity of the software and cybersecurity are key aspects of this new platform where Stoneridge will partner with Green Hills Software to create a scalable architecture that will integrate separate safety critical functions and allow for the introduction of new functionalities. It is designed to work in very harsh conditions where it can resist heat, vibrations, dust and long operating hours, all in a demanding environment for commercial vehicles. “Commercial vehicles are becoming increasingly connected and intelligent, but traditional vehicle architectures were not designed to support the pace of innovation happening today,” said Christian Leblanc, Global Vice President of Product and Project Management at Stoneridge. “EVO provides a scalable platform that helps simplify integration, improve vehicle performance and give our customers the flexibility they need to adapt as technology continues to evolve.”
