Driving the future of secure, smart mobility
x18 Technology Pte. Ltd. is a deep-tech R&D mothership focused on the fundamental technologies that modern connected vehicles rely on: edge hardware, firmware, cybersecurity models,telematics data systems, and predictive analytics.
We are based in Singapore and operate as the IP owner and technology originator behind an integrated ecosystem of automotive solutions – including OBDx, ForeFix, x18 vSOC, and VulnCar.
Every product in this ecosystem starts from our internal research: ECU-level analysis, protocol dissection, firmware inspection, behavior modeling, data-pipeline engineering, and cybersecurity threat modeling tailored specifically for vehicle architectures.
Understand the vehicle at its most granular level
We work quietly, precisely, and with scientific discipline. Our role is not to sell features; our role is to engineer the core technologies that others depend on.

Meet our amazing team
Our team is lean by design

Automotive System Experts
Engineers who have spent decades inside the architecture of modern vehicles:
- Reverse-engineering ECUs across hundreds of makes and models
- Mapping CAN/LIN/Ethernet traffic at signal level
- Analyzing and reconstructing firmware behavior
- Understanding how safety, powertrain, infotainment, and gateway systems interact
They work from first principles: no assumptions, no shortcuts — only empirical understanding of how a vehicle behaves electronically and computationally.

Cybersecurity Researchers
White-hat specialists with over 20 years of experience identifying, exploiting, and mitigating vulnerabilities across large and complex digital systems. Their work includes:
- Uncovering attack surfaces in modern vehicles
- Designing exploit chains for ECUs and IVI systems
- Building defense models capable of operating in constrained automotive environments
- Contributing to global security competitions and receiving recognition at elite levels
They think offensively first, defensively second – an approach essential for real automotive security.

Data & Systems Engineers
Architects who design high-throughput systems capable of processing 2-5 million messages per vehicle per day, scaling to billions of data points across fleets. They build:
- Our open data lake
- Real-time signal pipelines
- Anomaly detection engines
- ML-based predictive maintenance models
They ensure that every insight ForeFix produces is mathematically grounded, high-integrity, and operationally reliable.
HOW WE WORK
We work in small units, deeply technical, with no managerial overhead.
Every member is hands-on.
Every line of code, every hardware design, every security test originates from people who understand vehicles at a microscopic technical level.
This lean model allows us to move faster, think deeper, and build technologies that outperform solutions developed by organizations many times our size.
Below is a concise FAQ section tailored for OEMs, fleet operators, government partners, and technical collaborators.
We conduct deep R&D on automotive cybersecurity, telematics, predictive maintenance, and vehicle data systems.
We develop the foundational technologies that power various automotive solutions in the market.
We operate at the lowest layers of vehicle technology — ECU behavior, firmware, CAN protocols, cybersecurity threat models, and high-throughput data systems. We engineer the core, not the interface.
We design and develop the technology and IP.
Our solutions (OBDx, ForeFix, vSOC, VulnCar) are powered by our internal R&D.
Deployment can be through partners, OEMs, or affiliated companies depending on industrial requirements.
- Automotive OEMs
- Fleet operators (logistics, public transport, emergency services, agriculture, defense)
- Government cybersecurity units
- Insurance companies
- Research organizations
Yes. Our architectures, data models, and cybersecurity frameworks are designed to conform with major international regulations and automotive safety protocols.
Singapore serves as the R&D headquarters.
Our engineering work is supported by specialized labs and partner facilities across Southeast Asia and Europe.
Yes — for OEMs, government agencies, and strategic partners requiring specialized research, protocol analysis, data modeling, or cybersecurity engineering.
Contact us through the “Partnership Inquiry” channel.
We begin with a technical briefing, followed by a joint scoping session to understand requirements and define the research or integration pathway.
