Vietsol and KPIT Sign MoU to Expand Automotive Engineering Delivery for OEMs Across Southeast Asia

Hanoi, Vietnam, August 20, 2026 – Vietsol and KPIT Technologies signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to collaborate on advanced mobility software and engineering services for OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers across Southeast Asia.

Vietsol is a Vietnam-based engineering company specializing in automotive, mobility, and advanced manufacturing technology; KPIT Technologies is a global leader in automotive software and product engineering headquartered in Pune, India. The virtual signing ceremony was hosted with Vietsol’s team convening at their Hanoi headquarters.

Executive Summary

The Vietsol and KPIT partnership brings together two complementary strengths: KPIT’s global scale, deep automotive software expertise, and established OEM relationships, and Vietsol’s local market presence, delivery capability, and engineering talent in Vietnam and the broader Southeast Asia region. Through this MOU, both companies intend to jointly pursue go-to-market opportunities, co-deliver engineering work packages, and build long-term commercial and technical alignment for the region’s Automotive OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers.

Combining Global Automotive Expertise with Regional Delivery

As automotive programs grow more complex – spanning software-defined vehicles, electrification, and connected mobility – OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers increasingly look for engineering partners who can combine international technical depth with agile local execution. Southeast Asia is emerging as a strategic engineering and manufacturing hub, yet many global technology providers still lack the on-the-ground footprint necessary to scale effectively.

The Vietsol and KPIT partnership addresses this gap directly. By combining KPIT’s global engineering footprint and automotive software portfolio with Vietsol’s established local strength in Vietnam, the collaboration is designed to give OEMs and Tier-1s a more complete, regionally grounded engineering partner.

Collaboration Objectives and Scope

The MoU Establishes a framework for Vietsol KPIT to jointly develop and pursue automotive engineering opportunities across Southeast Asia. Two companies will coordinate GTM activities, combine their software and product engineering capabilities, and develop joint propositions tailored to the requirements of OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers.

The collaboration also provides a basis for both companies to represent and deliver selected products, solutions, and software accelerators from their respective portfolios. This approach enables customers to access a broader range of automotive engineering capabilities through a more integrated regional delivery model.

The territorial scope of the partnership centers on Southeast Asia – including Vietnam, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, and the Philippines – with additional global markets to be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

Vietsol’s Perspective

For Vietsol, this strategic partnership represents a key milestone in expanding its automotive engineering footprint across Southeast Asia. By pairing Vietsol’s deep local presence and hardware-software execution capabilities in Vietnam with KPIT’s proven global automotive software stack, Vietsol aims to accelerate the deployment of next-generation mobility solutions for regional OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers.

The collaboration serves as a long-term framework to combine both companies’ strengths—enabling faster time-to-market and high-value, localized engineering support for automotive clients across the region.

This collaboration reflects a clear industry trend: global tech leaders and strong regional engineering firms joining forces to meet the speed, scale, and localization required by modern vehicle programs.
