Announced under the Automotive Action Plan, ECAVA is an industrial discussion and advisory forum that will bring together key stakeholders from across the automotive value chain..

The Alliance will position itself as an industry-driven forum to coordinate EU-driven collaborations in software-defined vehicles (SDV), hardware computing architectures and automotive electronics, AI models and the development, piloting and testing of autonomous driving. By participating, members -including vehicle manufacturers, suppliers, innovative tech companies, start-ups, as well as the Union and Member State representatives - will contribute to the competitiveness of the European automotive industry.

The Alliance Secretariat will be coordinated by DG CNECT, under close cooperation with DGs RTD, GROW, and MOVE. This collaboration has deep potential to boost the competitiveness of the European automotive industry.
