Arrow Electronics announced today a new strategic initiative and research hub focused on next‑generation vehicle electrical and electronic (E/E) architecture, a move that expands the company’s footprint into the rapidly evolving automotive software‑defined vehicle market.
The initiative positions Arrow as a central solution aggregator, combining its global engineering services, component inventory, and supply‑chain expertise to help automakers and tier‑1 suppliers design and implement centralized computing hubs that can manage multiple vehicle functions. The company estimates that this architecture can reduce vehicle wiring by up to 20%, lowering weight, improving energy efficiency, and enabling easier software updates throughout the vehicle’s life cycle.
By launching the research hub, Arrow will provide whitepapers, design tools, and technical insights to support E/E architecture redesign, leveraging its recent acquisitions of software firms iQMine and Avelabs. The program is intended to capture a share of the growing automotive electronics market, which is projected to reach $200 billion by 2030, and to generate higher‑margin revenue streams beyond traditional component distribution.
