- AIDV architecture vehicles can evolve across the lifecycle
- Five future product buckets: Naked Street, Street Fighter, ADV, youth-focused commuter motorcycles, and electric scooters
Matter begins 2026 with a bold new outlook, announcing new E2Ws based on a new AI-Defined Vehicle platform. The company used its Technology Day 3.0 platform to declare that the next phase of electric two-wheelers in India will evolve along software and control logic rather than just motors and batteries. The AI-defined Vehicle (AIDV) platform is a “re-architecture” rather than an upgrade, with intelligence sitting at the centre of how the vehicle performs and adapts in real conditions.
Based on this new architecture, the company is mapping a pipeline that spans five distinct segments built on one shared hardware-software-compute backbone. This roadmap will include Naked Street motorcycles, Street Fighter machines, Adventure (ADV) line, youth-focused commuter bikes, and electric scooters. The multi-product rollout plan will span over the next 36–48 months.
Matter points to AERA as an SDV 1.0 foundation model, stating that software updates have been adding capability without changing the core hardware and it lists earlier technical talking points. These are the Hypershift gearbox concept, liquid cooling for motor and battery and embedded control work. The company’s view is that AIDV goes further than SDV by pushing intelligence directly into decision and control layers, including how torque and efficiency are managed in real time, how the battery protects itself as it ages and how faults can be predicted earlier.
