The paper describes the major engineering considerations when developing the system architecture for next generations of Volvo cars. Volvo decided to use the global Autosar 4.0 platform and to go for domain oriented architecture. To handle the large amount of complexity, it was necessary to develop new working methods and a new tool chain. In the scope for the next generation EE system architecture it was specifically considered the preparations for future electrification concepts considering the full span including 48V/12V dual voltage architecture all the way to Plug-In Hybrids. Also, major considerations have been made to fulfil efficiency optimisation of all design elements. In addition to this, the EE-platform is prepared for car to car communication and wireless communication of many kinds. Conclusions from the development of the new EE system architecture are that it adapts to the requirements and feature levels of 2020 and beyond, supports high functional complexity levels and includes future concepts for low CO2 emissions and electrification. The paper is structured in three parts, first a description of the main needs that drives the development of an "electrical architecture, then strategies to handle these needs and finally descriptions of the solutions chosen by Volvo Cars.
