As part of the split, Veoneer received IP licenses and strengthened its software and systems team with around 200 software engineers joining the company.

On 2 April, the partners announced a preliminary agreement to split Zenuity in order for each company to more effectively drive their respective strategies.

The parties entered into definitive agreements on 1 July.

As part of the split, Veoneer received IP licenses and added software engineers located in Germany, the US and Sweden, which strengthens its software and systems team focused on the development and commercialisation of advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) software for collaborative driving.

As announced earlier, Veoneer expects to achieve annual savings of around US$30m-$40m as a result of the split.
