Case Study: European Automotive Group achieves €20M+ annual savings by shifting SDV errors left with SPREAD

European Automotive Group saves €20M+ a year with SPREAD

The European Automotive Group, a multi-brand automotive OEM, faced the challenge of managing the immense complexity and integration errors of its software-defined vehicle (SDV) programs. These errors were extremely costly when caught late in development or in the field. To shift these errors left on the cost curve, they partnered with SPREAD to implement its Product Twin, an integrated engineering ontology.

SPREAD's solution created a live graph integrating ARXML, ReqIF, BoMs, and CAD data, with applications for architects, quality engineers, and program managers. This enabled the group to trace change impacts in minutes instead of days and catch errors much earlier. SPREAD's implementation achieved over €20M in annual savings by preventing costly field failures and provided 10x leverage for its engineering teams.
