Hyundai throws its hat in the SDV ring with Pleos

Integrating high-performance chips and controllers, a new vehicle OS, a new infotainment system, an open development platform, and Cloud infrastructure, Pleos is expected to usher Hyundai into a wider connected, software-powered ecosystem that includes not just the car but also homes, urban infrastructure, and cloud-based mobility services.

Hyundai Motor Group introduced its new mobility software brand Pleos at its 2025 developer conference held on March 28, marking a pivotal shift toward becoming a mobility technology company. Pleos, combining the Greek word "pleo" for "more" and OS for operating system, is designed to support autonomous movement and smart management of all mobile devices, connecting transportation and infrastructure to create a more efficient mobility environment. Specifically, Pleos aims to enhance the in-vehicle app ecosystem and mobility experiences by integrating software-defined vehicles (SDVs) with Hyundai's next-generation infotainment system.
