Vector Korea said on the 7th that it will supply Vector and QNX’s “Alloy Kore” to Coretura.
The supply is the first official Design Win since the integrated vehicle software platform announced earlier this year.
Coretura aims to secure the foundational software layer for next-generation commercial vehicle SDV development, while Vector and QNX are pursuing reduced development complexity and faster integration.
Vector Korea announced on the 7th that Vector and BlackBerry subsidiary QNX will supply “Alloy Kore” to Coretura. The supply is the first official Design Win since Vector and QNX unveiled their jointly developed integrated vehicle software platform earlier this year.
Coretura is a joint venture specializing in commercial vehicle SDV platforms, established by Daimler Truck and Volvo Group. The purpose of this supply is to provide the foundational software layer for next-generation commercial vehicle SDV development. Coretura aims to change how commercial vehicles are developed, operated, and continuously improved after launch through software updates.
Through Alloy Kore, Vector and QNX are pursuing a strategy to reduce software complexity in the SDV development process and accelerate development and integration. As a result, the supply to Coretura fits into Vector and QNX’s broader push into the commercial vehicle SDV market.
Coretura is pursuing the buildout of a commercial vehicle SDV platform based on a “single platform and single standard,” while focusing on securing an SDV platform architecture optimized for the commercial vehicle HPC environment and a Safety-certified software platform foundation.
In this process, Alloy Kore is a single software foundation that integrates Safety-certified RTOS and common vehicle system services, supporting deployment in HPC environments. The company said Alloy Kore can ease systems integration burdens and simplify development and certification. As a result, OEMs can reduce the burden of developing common foundational software and focus their capabilities on application development for brand and product differentiation.
Coretura CEO Johan Lundén said the purpose of Coretura’s establishment is to advance mobility in step with the pace of turning ideas into reality. He explained that to do so, it is necessary to establish a single foundation that the industry can trust.
Johan Lundén said it is important on that foundation to support customer engineers so they can focus on developing applications that create real value. He said choosing Alloy Kore is a decisive step in that process.
He said Alloy Kore will contribute to smarter, safer, and more valuable commercial vehicles even after launch. Coretura used Vector Distribution, an immediately usable integration package, by adopting Alloy Kore.
Vector Distribution is a deployment methodology based on the Alloy Kore architecture. The methodology combines vehicle OS-based technologies, Vector middleware, communication capabilities, and integration capabilities, enabling software deployment for high-performance computing environments.
By adopting Alloy Kore, Coretura has been able to maintain a consistent software foundation across the development program and secure a deployable software environment tailored to commercial vehicle platform requirements. This adoption signals a shift in the auto industry’s development structure.
The direction of this change in development structure is to concentrate in-house engineering capabilities in areas where differentiation is needed and standardize and share common foundation software. John Wall, CEO of QNX, said Coretura’s adoption of Alloy Kore is an important milestone in opening the future software-defined commercial vehicle market. He said Coretura is building the commercial vehicle SDV platform the industry needs, and that Alloy Kore will fulfill its originally intended role as the proven foundational software underpinning it.
Dr. Matthias Traub, CEO and General Director of Vector, said Coretura’s decision to adopt Alloy Kore is a major turning point in the evolution of the Vector platform. He said the decision is also a major turning point in the development of the broader software-defined commercial vehicle ecosystem.
He stressed that the industry needs an open software foundation ready for mass production if it is to control complexity and accelerate innovation. He then presented Alloy Kore, an extensible platform for OEMs co-developed with QNX, as the solution, emphasizing that Alloy Kore is a platform aligned with industry needs that supports OEMs’ independent differentiation and helps them complete that differentiation faster and more efficiently.
