Cologne, Germany, November 14, 2026: Marelli has unveiled ORION, a new Data Cloud AI Platform designed to transform motorsport data into actionable intelligence, at the Professional MotorSport World Expo (PMW Expo) 2026 in Cologne, Germany.

Presented at the exhibition held on November 11 and 12, ORION represents a significant step in Marelli Motorsport’s evolution from vehicle technologies and telemetry towards a broader motorsport data ecosystem.

The platform is designed to connect fragmented data from multiple sources, organise and govern information in the cloud, and use artificial intelligence to create a shared and explainable understanding of motorsport data.

According to Marelli, ORION provides a trusted data foundation to support analysis, decision-making, storytelling, fan engagement and auditable data services.

It is intended to serve a wide range of motorsport stakeholders, including racing teams, federations, championship promoters, media organisations and regulated operators. The platform allows different stakeholders to work from a consistent data foundation while retaining their individual perspectives and requirements.

ORION Aims to Simplify Motorsport Data Management

Marelli describes ORION as a foundational technology layer rather than a standalone application or dashboard.

By connecting and contextualising information from different sources, the platform aims to make complex motorsport data easier to understand and use. Its architecture is designed to support human decision-making rather than replace it.

The introduction of ORION also reflects the growing importance of data integration and artificial intelligence in motorsport, where teams and other stakeholders increasingly depend on connected information to support performance analysis and operational decisions.

Marelli Showcases Advanced Motorsport Technologies at PMW Expo 2026

Alongside ORION, Marelli showcased its wider portfolio of motorsport technologies at booth number 4068 at the Professional MotorSport World Expo 2026.

The display included electronic control units (ECUs), data loggers, dashboards, telemetry systems, vehicle control electronics, fuel systems, ignition technologies and power electronics. The solutions cater to both two-wheel and four-wheel racing applications.

Among the products exhibited were the following:

HSC 130 High Speed Camera: The camera offers Full HD recording at 500 frames per second (fps), featuring a high-sensitivity global shutter for capturing high-speed action.

SA-140 LTE Smart Antenna: An all-in-one telemetry solution featuring global connectivity, designed to support data communication in motorsport applications.

IPS 290: A six-axis, fully redundant inertial platform incorporating RTK multi-band Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) technology.

Marelli Expands AI-Powered Vehicle Edge Computing Portfolio

Marelli also highlighted its continued development of artificial intelligence-enabled edge computing solutions through its VEC family of Vehicle Edge Controllers.

The VEC 480, which received industry recognition in 2024, was showcased alongside the more compact VEC 200 and VEC 320. Together, the products extend Marelli’s AI-powered vehicle-edge architecture across different motorsport applications.

Vehicle edge computing enables data processing closer to where it is generated, supporting the deployment of intelligent computing solutions within racing vehicles.

REV-500 Highlights Marelli’s Motorsport Electrification Focus

Completing the technology showcase was the REV-500, Marelli Motorsport’s award-winning electric front powertrain solution.

Recognised at the Professional MotorSport World Expo in 2025, the REV-500 reflects the company’s continued focus on high-performance electrification alongside its latest developments in data, connectivity and intelligence solutions.

Marelli said the technologies presented at the 2026 exhibition reflect its broader involvement in motorsport, with the company supplying leading teams and championships across both two-wheel and four-wheel racing.

The unveiling of ORION, alongside its latest electronics, telemetry, edge computing and electrification technologies, underlines Marelli Motorsport’s ambition to expand its role in the racing industry beyond conventional vehicle systems and into connected data intelligence.
