OpenDrive-RV™

RISC-V Based EV Controller SoC for Autonomous & Intelligent Mobility

At Excel EVs, our R&D division focuses on building next-generation electric vehicle intelligence using open, secure, and scalable silicon platforms.
Our flagship initiative, OpenDrive-RV™, is a RISC-V based EV Controller System-on-Chip (SoC) designed for autonomous driving, AI vision, image processing, and IoT-enabled vehicles.

OpenDrive-RV™ SoC – R&D Highlights

Unified EV Intelligence Platform

  • RISC-V CPU Cluster (64-bit + Safety Core)

  • Vision Processing Unit (VPU) – multi-camera ADAS & perception

  • Neural Processing Unit (NPU) – AI inference & planning

  • Sensor Fusion Engine – Radar, LiDAR, IMU, GPS

  • EV Powertrain Control – Motor control, BMS, regenerative braking

  • IoT & Security – 5G, OTA updates, Root of Trust

Why This R&D Matters

Today’s autonomous EV platforms suffer from:

  • Multiple ECUs increasing cost, power usage, and failure points

  • Heavy reliance on foreign proprietary IP

  • Limited availability of affordable ADAS for mass-market EVs based on RISK – V

OpenDrive-RV™ addresses these gaps by delivering single-chip EV intelligence.

Why RISC-V for Automotive & National Programs

 

    • Open ISA with no licensing or export restrictions

    • Custom instructions for AI, motor control, and safety

    • Lower total cost for OEMs

    • Strong alignment with Make-in-India & sovereign silicon goals

Target Applications

  • Passenger EVs with ADAS (L2–L4)

  • 2W & 3W EVs for emerging markets

  • Autonomous delivery and logistics vehicles

  • Commercial EV fleets

  • Strategic & defense mobility platforms
