SBD Automotive Deploys New Digital Hub with Content Catalyst Integration SBD Automotive has completed a strategic migration of its proprietary intelligence infrastructure, partnering with specialist technology provider Content Catalyst to launch an upgraded version of its Digital Hub at hub.sbdautomotive.com. The initiative transitions the firm away from a legacy, custom-built portal architecture toward a flexible, modular delivery platform designed to host its comprehensive market research and mobility analytics portfolio. The new deployment implements a discovery-driven architecture tailored to enhance information retrieval and scannability across SBD’s extensive automotive technology research library. By consolidating distinct intelligence feeds, data products, and industry insights into a single unified workspace, the framework eliminates internal engineering constraints associated with portal maintenance, allowing the research organization to redirect development resources toward core intelligence outputs. From a commercial standpoint, the software-as-a-service infrastructure integrates frictionless discovery features designed to improve enterprise client engagement metrics and broaden visibility into prospective up-sell opportunities. The modular, no-code framework provides a scalable foundation to support global distribution channels and accommodate data volume increases in step with expanding transportation technology sectors. Mazda Selects Panasonic Automotive Systems’ Cockpit Domain Controller for All-New CX-5 Panasonic Automotive Systems announced that its cockpit domain controller has been adopted by Mazda Motor Corporation for the all-new Mazda CX-5. Integrated as the core component of Mazda’s new MAZDA E/E ARCHITECTURE+ electronic platform, the central system unifies control over multiple cockpit electronic control units including the in-vehicle infotainment, head-up display, and instrument cluster. This hardware consolidation represents a critical architectural step toward software-defined vehicle implementation for the midsize crossover platform, which launched in Europe in December 2025 and Japan in May 2026 ahead of a broader global rollout. The system leverages open-standard
