Digital Transformation for an Electric Commercial Vehicle OEM

Accelerating EV Innovation through Embedded & Mobile App Development

Client Overview

A North American electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer is leading the charge in transforming the commercial trucking industry with smart, sustainable transport solutions. The company specializes in heavy-duty electric trucks, and aims to enhance the driver experience, manufacturing oversight, and fleet visibility through technology-driven platforms.

To accelerate their digital product roadmap, the client partnered with Perigeon Software for product outsourcing across AOSP-based development, instrument cluster interfaces, and customer-facing applications.

Project Objectives

  • Develop a custom instrument cluster interface for EV trucks using AOSP (Android Open Source Project)
  • Build real-time assembly line tracking tools for operational efficiency
  • Design and deploy a customer dashboard for vehicle insights, diagnostics, and telemetry
  • Deliver a cross-platform mobile app for fleet and driver engagement
  • Outsource all product development with a focus on embedded systems and mobile usability
