Acsia Technologies, headquartered in Technopark Trivandrum, has been selected as a Software (SW) development provider by ®, a leading global provider of GPS-enabled products, and the company teams up with Germany-based AOX Technologies to develop infotainment systems for BMW.
Infotainment is the hardware and software platform designed to deliver information and entertainment including audio and video in vehicles. Acsia signed a contract with Garmin and set the ball rolling for the project.

Acsia started expanding its engineering team for the project, thereby opening opportunities for the engineering community in the state to work on highly advanced automotive software.
Acsia has extensive experience in developing infotainment and connected car production programs for world's leading automotive carmakers and Tier1 companies.

Acsia has practically demonstrated to meet and exceed our expectations and to be a reliable scaling partner for AOX. Looking forward to successfully deliver this challenging project with a reliable partner like Acsia," said Markus Kissendorfer, Managing Director at AOX Connect.
"Acsia was selected through a long evaluation process. We are one of the very few Indian companies to do end to end automotive software projects for the global carmakers.
