Aptiv's plan after the Versigent separation is to sell higher-value compute and software rather than volume wiring, and to take that portfolio outside cars. Inside automotive that means zone controllers and centralized compute under the Smart Vehicle Architecture banner, active safety sensors and cockpit electronics, and Wind River software sold on license and subscription. Outside automotive it means commercial vehicle, aerospace and defense, telecom and datacom, energy storage, robotics and drones, where Aptiv reported double-digit revenue growth through 2026 and $5 billion of new business awards in the second quarter alone. Silicon partnerships with NVIDIA and Qualcomm keep the company on current processors without the cost of designing its own.
Aptiv sells into multi-year production programs won years before a vehicle or system reaches assembly, then ships hardware per unit built for the life of that program. Through fiscal 2025 it reported three segments: Electrical Distribution Systems with $8,818 million of net sales, Engineered Components Group with $6,662 million and Advanced Safety and User Experience with $5,792 million. The wiring business separated as Versigent PLC on April 1, 2026, leaving Aptiv with the renamed Intelligent Systems segment, which holds active safety sensors, central compute, cockpit electronics and Wind River software, and Engineered Components, which holds connectors, busbars, high-voltage interconnects and electrical centers. Wind River adds license, subscription and support revenue that is not tied to vehicle build rates, and supply contracts carry commodity pass-through terms for copper, aluminum and resins.
Aptiv completed the acquisition of intelligent edge software leader Wind River from private equity firm TPG Capital in December 2022 for $3.5 billion in cash, integrating its mission-critical real-time software into vehicles.
In October 2017, Delphi (Aptiv) acquired MIT spin-off nuTonomy for $450 million ($400M upfront and $50M earnouts), combining its self-driving algorithms with Ottomatika to accelerate autonomous mobility.
In October 2014, Delphi acquired Antaya Technologies, the leading provider of on-glass pre-soldered electrical connectors and high-reliability antenna connections for the global automotive glass industry.
In December 2015, Delphi acquired British cable management and industrial fastening systems leader HellermannTyton Group PLC for £1.07 billion ($1.7 billion), strengthening its global electrical architecture component portfolio.
In October 2018, Aptiv acquired Winchester Interconnect from Snow Phipps Group for $650 million, expanding its harsh-environment interconnect capabilities into aerospace, defense, medical, and subsea industrial markets.
Aptiv agreed in September 2022 to acquire an 85 percent equity stake in Intercable Automotive Solutions, a subsidiary of Intercable S.r.l., for ~$672 million (595 million euros), and completed the deal later that year. The business makes high-voltage busbars and interconnects and had about $283 million (250 million euros) of estimated 2022 sales.
In March 2020, Aptiv and Hyundai Motor Group established Motional, a $4.0 billion autonomous driving joint venture (with Hyundai investing $1.6B cash and $400M R&D assets for a 50% stake alongside Aptiv's technology contribution).
Aptiv retains specialized engineering talent, integrates software stacks directly into Smart Vehicle Architecture reference designs, uses its global Tier-1 OEM sales relationships, and applies lean manufacturing discipline.
Aptiv famously executed a massive $4.3 billion acquisition of the software company Wind River to drastically accelerate its vehicle-to-cloud software capabilities.
