Introducing Alloy Kore – Next-Generation Foundation for Software-Defined Vehicles
Alloy Kore establishes a new software foundation for software-defined vehicles — reducing complexity, enabling scalable architectures, and supporting the development of future-ready vehicle software.
Alloy Kore is a completely new, foundational vehicle software platform designed to accelerate the development of Software-Defined Vehicles (SDVs). Jointly developed by Vector and QNX, it provides a unified, safety- and security-certified foundation that reduces integration complexity, optimizes system performance, and enables OEMs to focus on delivering innovative, differentiating vehicle features.
The platform combines QNX’s safety-certified real-time operating system with Vector’s pre-integrated middleware, creating a robust, production-grade software base for high-performance computing (HPC). Its open, clearly structured architecture ensures seamless integration across ECUs, domains, and vehicle generations, while supporting scalable and extensible development for current and future SDVs.
Key Benefits
- Unified, Pre-Integrated Platform – Eliminates the need to stitch software together, reducing fragmentation and integration effort.
- Safety- and Security-Certified – Compliant with ISO 26262 up to ASIL D and ISO/SAE 21434, providing a reliable foundation for safety-critical applications.
- High Performance & Architectural Consistency – Accelerates development cycles and ensures consistent architecture across vehicle lines.
- Seamless Integration – Open and standardized interfaces allow OEMs to integrate Alloy Kore easily into existing systems.
- Scalable & Extensible – Designed to evolve with industry demands and long-term vehicle architectures.
- Collaborative Foundation for Innovation – Lead customers can influence roadmap, architecture, and use-case priorities, making Alloy Kore more than a platform—it’s a shared commitment to shaping the future of vehicle software.
Leading OEMs – including Mercedes-Benz – are already evaluating Alloy Kore, exploring its potential for centralized HPC ECUs, improved software scalability, and faster rollout of advanced vehicle functions. By providing a unified base, Alloy Kore enables OEMs to decouple hardware and software development cycles, accelerate feature deployment, and focus engineering resources on innovation rather than foundational integration.
