Bendix Selects Aeva to Develop Next-Generation Active Safety Production System for Commercial Vehicles

Aeva® (Nasdaq: AEVA), a leader in next-generation sensing and perception systems, announced an agreement to develop an active safety solution with Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems LLC (Bendix), North America’s leader in advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) for commercial vehicles. The program will integrate Aeva’s perception platform of 4D LiDAR sensors and perception software into Bendix’s future active safety and collision mitigation solutions for Class 8 mass-production vehicles.

With approximately 300,000 new Class 8 trucks sold annually in North America, the commercial vehicle ADAS market represents a substantial opportunity for next-generation active safety technologies. Bendix’s flagship Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) Bendix® Fusion™, the market-leading collision mitigation and active safety solution available across most major Class 8 OEM platforms, may provide a scalable path to deploy advanced LiDAR-based sensing capabilities in high-volume production vehicles.

The program underscores a broader industry shift toward the use of LiDAR not only for higher levels of autonomy, but also for advanced driver assistance systems where enhanced perception can improve safety performance. As one of the industry’s first 4D LiDAR-based programs targeting commercial vehicle active safety applications, the collaboration aims to advance and improve performance in critical driving scenarios.

“We’re excited to expand our work with Aeva through this program as we continue advancing safety technologies for commercial vehicle fleets,” said Mike Tober, Chief Technology Officer at Bendix. “Aeva’s 4D LiDAR provides capabilities that can improve system performance in critical driving scenarios, helping support the next generation of collision mitigation solutions that perform more effectively across a wider range of real-world operating conditions.”

“This program represents an important milestone in our collaboration with Bendix and a significant step toward mass production of a first-of-its-kind LiDAR-based L2+ driver assistance solution for commercial vehicles,” said Mina Rezk, Co-founder and CTO at Aeva. “By combining Aeva’s 4D LiDAR with Bendix’s industry-leading safety platform, we are positioned to deliver next-generation LiDAR-based solutions that enhance safety and performance for commercial vehicle fleets at scale.”
