AutoNeura

Intelligent software to reduce vehicle development costs  

Founded in March 2022, AutoNeura is transforming the way vehicle propulsion systems are tested, offering a software solution that reduces development costs and accelerates innovation.  

AutoNeura has developed a novel approach of enabling complex testing of vehicle propulsion systems with its proprietary software on widely available hardware. This technology applies equally to electric machines and combustion engines (all fuels including hydrogen) for any form of transport – passenger cars, light goods vehicles, heavy-duty, passenger cars, heavy goods vehicles, two wheelers, marine, aerospace and rail – globally. 

AutoNeura enables vehicle manufacturers, institutions, powertrain test providers and hardware manufacturers to significantly reduce cost related to propulsion system development and tests during commissioning and operating phases. This is enabled by utilising intelligent control software which provides faster, cheaper and improved customer bottom line in the value chain of vehicle production.
