The shift to smarter E/E architectures will reorganize and simplify the wire harnesses to support more efficient, higher-speed transmission and real-time processing of vastly more sensor and environmental data. The objective is fewer nodes/ECUs but significantly more connection opportunities (ports) per node – linked together by a high-speed data backbone.
Over the next five years, zonal E/E architectures will further consolidate the number of port-dense nodes by connecting diverse but co-located vehicle functions to nearby zone controllers or gateways that, in turn, link to HPCs. The communication within this zonal architecture resembles a computer network, utilizing highspeed Ethernet (10 Gbps) data rates for interzonal communication between the vehicle’s central processing units and the zonal executives.
At TE Connectivity, our mission is to ensure that tomorrow’s connectivity is faster, more secure, more reliable – and able to handle the exploding volumes of data and signals. Our connectivity solutions are not only smarter and smaller than ever, they’re also better at multi-tasking, such as transmitting signals and power alongside high-speed data. And they’ve been designed from the start with automation readiness and sustainability in mind.
Key to this shift are smarter E/E architectures that reorganize and simplify the wire harnesses to support more efficient, higher-speed transmission and real-time processing of vastly more sensor and environmental data. The objective is fewer nodes/ECUs but significantly more connection opportunities (ports) per node – linked together by a high-speed data backbone.

‘Zonal’ next-generation architectures will have significant implications for vehicle manufacturing. As zone-based installation approaches replace unwieldy, vehicle-spanning harnesses, it becomes possible to use lighter cabling systems, which enhance electrical efficiency, reduce weight and simplify harness installation and, due to better partitioning, automated harness production becomes an option.
