- Partnership to enable smarter, more seamless connected mobility, leveraging

the power of data

- e.wave X to utilize Sibros' Deep Connected Platform to reshape the owner

experience for sustainable urban mobility

Next.e.GO Mobile SE (e.GO), an innovative producer of urban electric vehicles

announced today a strategic partnership with connected vehicle platform company

Sibros, to deploy industry-leading connected mobility solutions into e.GO's new

vehicle models, with the aim of positioning e.GO to take advantage of the

data-driven transformation of urban mobility. e.GO announced the start of sales

of its newly launched electric vehicle, the e.wave X in October 2022.

The e.wave X is a purpose-built battery electric vehicle for the urban

environment, using innovative spaceframe technology. Along with its sustainable

materials and unique production processes, the e.wave X features replaceable

and recyclable polymer skins and smart and exchangeable batteries that are

designed to power a low maintenance and long-lasting electric drivetrain.

e.GO selected Sibros' Deep Connected Platform for vehicle-wide data management

and over-the-air (OTA) software updates to further improve the customer

experience. The data collection will create insights and enable a range of

connected and value-added fleet services, while OTA software updates are

intended to allow all vehicles to evolve and improve the customer experience

across the life cycle of the vehicle. Together, e.GO and Sibros are committed

to unleashing the full potential of connected city mobility with a 360-degree

user convenience and an ecosystem of value-added connected services.

"Sibros' comprehensive connected vehicle product suite provides vehicle

manufacturers with data-driven insights, empowering them to make informed

decisions while helping to accelerate their efforts in product enhancement and

user experience," said Hemant Sikaria, CEO of Sibros. "Innovators like e.GO

leverage Sibros' deep and secure vehicle-to-cloud capabilities to help

accelerate their journey and position them at the forefront of the industry. As

a leader in the connected vehicle technology space, we're excited to deploy our

award-winning Deep Connected Platform on the e.wave X and grow our strategic

partnership over the coming years, rethinking connected and sustainable

mobility in urban environments."

Connectivity is considered to be a key enabler for the mobility and smart

cities. The partnership between e.GO and Sibros will enable innovative OEMs

like e.GO to target business opportunities in both fleet management as well as

to offer a broad set of services throughout the lifetime of the vehicle while

enhancing the way drivers interact with their vehicles.

"The growing integration of multiple domains in the automotive universe,

including connected vehicles, vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication and

ultimately autonomous mobility, are meant to validate the software-defined

connected urban cars of the future and that is what makes us very excited about

this partnership," said Ali Vezvaei, chairman of the board at e.GO. "We aspire

to offer our customers the freedom and choice to select connected services that

fit to their needs, whether in charging, sharing, insurance or connected drive,

essentially this may convert their e.wave X to a smartphone on four wheels."

Sibros' connected vehicle solution will take advantage of various strategic

industry partnerships, including Google Cloud for Automotive, which brings

together an entire ecosystem of scalable vehicle-to-cloud solutions spanning

data analytics, visualization, AI, machine learning and application programming

interface (API) management tools. Automotive OEMs using the Sibros platform

include a fast-growing list of the world's most iconic makers of cars, trucks,

passenger and commercial segments.
