FEV.io

What FEV.io does

FEV.io GmbH is a wholly-owned subsidiary of FEV Group, spun off in 2022 from the group's 'Intelligent Mobility and Software' business unit and headquartered in Aachen, Germany. The company delivers digital engineering services for software-defined systems across automotive, truck/commercial-vehicle, aerospace, and rail domains, with approximately 1,000 experts operating from offices in 16 countries. Its offering spans seven core solution areas — Systems Engineering, Software & E/E Platforms, Software & E/E Integration, Infotainment & Connected Mobility, Cloud & Data Solutions, Functional Safety & Cybersecurity, and Assisted Driving & Automated Mobility — delivered through the FEV.io Foundry methodology framework and supported by a proprietary tooling stack including CUBE (Compositional Unified System-based Engineering), EPF/EPF4me (an AI-enhanced process platform), the HARA Agent, MBSE CoPilot, and Systems-as-Code.

The company's AI capability is anchored in generative AI and autonomous-agent architectures built around LLMs with external knowledge databases as guardrails, applying Model Context Protocol (MCP) integration against SysML v2 specifications to execute ASPICE v4.0 and INCOSE SE Handbook skills via multi-role agent teams. Domain specialization extends into safety-critical software through subsidiary FEV etamax GmbH, which has maintained ESA's ESABASE2 space-environment toolkit since 2002 and ESO's data-flow software since 2018, and into AI-based semantic terrain segmentation for autonomous rover navigation using the NASA AI4MARS dataset.

FEV.io operates a pure B2B enterprise services model with quote-based project and retainer engagements; no public pricing is disclosed. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales, supplemented by content marketing (insights blog, case studies, downloads), targeted industry events (Innotrans, ELIV, Space Tech Expo Europe, Big Science Business Forum), and a global network of regional offices staffed by Managing Directors and BD specialists. Customer concentration sits in unnamed automotive OEMs, Tier-1 suppliers, and truck manufacturers alongside named institutional clients ESA and ESO, with active participation in four EU-funded CCAM consortium projects (L3Pilot, HiDrive, Synergies, pre-LSDemo) shaping scenario-based validation standards. Revenue is not publicly disclosed.
