FPT Automotive, founded by FPT in December 2023, sets its sights on capturing a significant share of the automotive software market, valued in the hundreds of billions of dollars. The company is headquartered in Texas, USA. Before establishing FPT Automotive, FPT had amassed more than 10 years of experience, with a team of over 4,000 experts dedicated to developing comprehensive services in automotive software. This encompassed a diverse range of areas, including entertainment and in-vehicle information technology, electronic control unit (ECU), safety and security functions, as well as automotive UI/UX design, wireless, and digital connectivity. With a growth rate of approximately 40% in recent years, this sector has played a pivotal role in contributing to FPT's achievement of reaching one billion USD in IT service revenue for foreign markets in 2023.

FPT's extensive suite of MaaZ technology solutions for cars received global recognition through the AutoTech Breakthrough Awards, an annual international accolade honoring innovation and creativity in the automotive technology industry.

FPT presently boasts a network of 150 clients, comprising industry leaders like Volvo, Honda, Hyundai, Ford, LG, Panasonic, VinFast, and NXP. Notably, the company has collaborated with Nippon Seiki - a group holding the world's leading market share in meter clusters and head-up displays (HUD) for cars and motorcycles - to develop device software.

FPT has secured its position among major contenders, standing alongside prominent brands like Infosys, Tata Technologies, Cognizant, and NTT DATA, as per Everest Group's recent announcement on ACES (Automated, Connected, Electric, and Shared Vehicles) for 26 global automotive software vendors. With ambitious goals, the company aims to achieve sales of 1 billion USD in this segment by 2030.
