About SAL

Insights into SAL’s mission, values, research activities, and contribution to Europe’s innovation ecosystem.

Automotive & Mobility

The Automotive & Mobility industry is undergoing rapid transformation driven by electrification, automation, and connectivity. SAL supports this transition with advanced R&D in sensors, power electronics, wireless communication and embedded systems. The convergence of electrification, digitalization, and autonomous driving is opening up new possibilities towards green energy transition, efficiency, safety and comfort in integrated, intelligent and sustainable systems.

Some of the key topics are:

  • Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) and Smart Energy Integration: The most critical research focus is the transformation of the vehicle from an isolated consumer of energy into an active, intelligent node within smart grid.
  • Software-Defined Vehicles & Architectures: The shift toward centralized, zonal computing architectures is the backbone of future mobility.
  • Autonomous Systems and Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS): Developing highly efficient sensor-fusion techniques that leverage low-cost, solid-state LiDAR to enable Level 4+ autonomy at a commercially viable price point.
  • Circular Supply Chains and Advanced Battery Technologies: Another focus is on resource-efficient and economically viable solutions for sustainable mobility.

SAL supports its partners in research activities and proposes solutions for the next mobility’ s generation.
