Full Vehicle Integration Testing via Cloud-based Electronics Digital Twins at Volvo Cars

Discover how Volvo Cars accelerated development of its software defined vehicle platform by creating a full cloud-based electronics digital twin using Synopsys Silver virtual ECUs, QNX OS virtualization, and AWS infrastructure. This success story highlights how early integration testing, continuous validation, and scalable simulation environments dramatically reduce downstream integration risk, cut development time, and improve software quality before hardware is available.

What You’ll Learn

• How Volvo built a complete cloud-hosted electronics digital twin to validate its Core System Platform and full vehicle network long before physical ECUs were available. 
• How Synopsys Silver virtual ECUs and partner technologies enable “shift left” testing, allowing continuous integration, automated regression testing, and early detection of integration issues. 
• How cloud native simulation reduces dependency on physical prototypes, ensuring faster development cycles, improved system reliability, and smoother transition from simulation to real world vehicle deployment.
