Q1 What is MIH Consortium? What does MIH stand for?

MIH Consortium is creating an open EV ecosystem that promotes collaboration in the mobility industry. We realize key technologies, develop reference designs and standards, while we bridge the gap between members in the ecosystem resulting in a lower barrier to entry, accelerated innovation, and shorter development cycles. Our goal is to bring the strategic partners together to build the next generation of EV, autonomous driving, and mobility service applications. Through this transformation of the automotive industry and smart mobility space, we help maintain a sustainable future. MIH stands for Mobility in Harmony, which encapsulates our vision.  

Q2 How does MIH Consortium work?

The MIH Consortium (the Consortium) operates the MIH Open EV Alliance (the Alliance) to promote collaboration in the mobility industry to achieve its mission. The Alliance comprises of MIH members who will participate in Advisory and Technical Committee as well as Working and Interest groups. The Consortium and its Alliance members will create an open EV platform together, through the realization of reference designs and standardization of EV technologies. For more details, please check the About Us page.

Q8 Where can I find the members’ list?

Please refer to the Member’s Directory on our website (to be updated by the end of August 2021) and note that MIH will not reveal any personal contact information of its members.

Q9 Does MIH own any products?

MIH realizes key technologies by developing reference designs and standards via its Working Groups formed with its members, and thus MIH is about providing the platform and support for collaboration between organizations and driving the EV industry forward by setting the architecture requirements, standards, and reference designs for all major software-defined features of an EV such as ADAS, cybersecurity, cloud connectivity, BMS, IVI, and more. The open platform allows an open but secure marketplace to be built on and operated to support developers, ODMs/OEMs, and brands.
