Sibros unveils SDV App Marketplace to speed up connected vehicle innovation. Press Release, 9 January 2026 At CES 2026 in Las Vegas, connected vehicle platform leader Sibros announced the launch of its SDV App Marketplace, a ready-to-use digital storefront of applications designed to help automakers, fleet operators and mobility providers transform vehicle data into real-world features and services much faster. Built on Sibros' Deep Connected Platform, this marketplace brings together more than 50 turnkey applications that span critical areas like battery management, diagnostics, compliance, fleet operations, safety and consumer experiences all without the need for costly custom coding or long integration cycles. The new marketplace is tailored specifically for software-defined vehicles (SDVs), which rely on software and data to deliver smarter, safer and more efficient mobility. Instead of having to build each connected service from scratch, vehicle makers and fleet managers can now quickly deploy tools that help monitor battery health and charging performance, automate regulatory reporting, track and optimize fleet performance, strengthen vehicle cybersecurity, or even offer AI-driven digital experiences such as personalized apps, digital keys and driver coaching. By centralizing these capabilities in one place, Sibros aims to cut development time and investment, enabling its customers to extract more value from vehicle data sooner. Because the applications are tightly integrated with Sibros' connected vehicle architecture - featuring capabilities like over-the-air (OTA) updates, high-frequency vehicle data logging, edge computing, remote commands and built-in security OEMs and operators can implement them with confidence across varied lifecycle stages, from design and production to service and post-sales support. The marketplace also opens doors for partners in cloud infrastructure, mapping services, insurance and more to develop and distribute specialized solutions. Sibros is demoing the marketplace throughout CES 2026 and guiding attendees on how this new ecosystem could accelerate the transformation toward smarter, software-driven vehicles.
