\n\t\tStellantis to migrate more systems to Microsoft Azure targeting major data centre reduction by 2029
<\/p>\n
\n\tStellantis and Microsoft have announced a five-year strategic partnership to jointly develop artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and engineering capabilities as the automaker accelerates its shift toward software-defined vehicles. The collaboration comes as global carmakers face growing pressure from technology-first competitors, particularly Chinese automakers that are rapidly advancing in connected vehicle features and digital services.<\/p>\n
\n\tUnder the agreement, both companies will form joint teams to co-develop more than 100 AI-driven initiatives. These initiatives will focus on areas such as product development, validation, predictive maintenance, testing efficiency, and faster deployment of digital features across vehicle platforms. The partnership builds on an existing relationship between the two companies, which have previously worked together on connected vehicle technologies and in-car digital services.<\/p>\n
\n\tA key focus of the collaboration will be strengthening Stellantis\u2019 global cyber defence centre. The system will use AI-based analytics to detect and prevent cyber threats while protecting vehicles, customer data, manufacturing systems, and digital operations. The cybersecurity framework will extend across IT infrastructure, connected vehicles, factory systems, and mobile applications, aiming to embed security more deeply into every layer of operations.<\/p>\n
