Empowering Commercial Vehicle Innovation

Commercial vehicles play a critical role in global logistics and are now embracing a new era of software-defined transformation. As OEMs and suppliers look to modernize their platforms, technologies like electrification, autonomy, and connected systems are unlocking new opportunities for efficiency, safety, and performance. With the right software foundation, companies can lead the way in building smarter, more adaptable vehicles that meet the evolving demands of commercial mobility.

The Challenge

Commercial vehicles must deliver long-term reliability, safety, and performance across diverse operating environments. But as these platforms evolve into software-defined vehicles (SDVs), they face mounting complexity. Fragmented software stacks, tightly coupled hardware, and siloed development workflows lead to slow timelines, costly integration, and increased risk of software-related failures. For OEMs and Tier 1s building trucks, buses, and delivery vans, the challenge is clear: how to modernize vehicle software without compromising safety, uptime, or lifecycle longevity.

How We Support

QNX brings decades of embedded software leadership to commercial vehicles, with a proven track record of meeting SOP deadlines and powering over 255 million vehicles. As the foundation of the Foundational Vehicle Software Platform (FVSP), QNX delivers a pre-integrated, safety- and security-certified stack that accelerates development and simplifies certification. Our portfolio spans RTOS, hypervisors, middleware, and tools optimized for digital cockpits, ADAS, telematics, gateways, and high-performance controllers. With deep silicon partnerships, extensive board support, and global professional services, QNX helps OEMs and Tier 1s build safe, secure, and scalable platforms that meet the long-lifecycle demands of commercial fleets.

The Solution

The Foundational Vehicle Software Platform (FVSP), co-developed by QNX and Vector, provides a unified, production-ready baseline that eliminates the hidden cost and risk of stitching software together. Purpose-built for safety- and security-critical systems, FVSP enables commercial vehicle manufacturers to consolidate ECUs, reduce integration effort, and accelerate time-to-market. Its modular architecture supports mixed-criticality workloads, long-lifecycle support, and efficient deployment across vehicle lines. By abstracting the complexity of the underlying stack, FVSP allows teams to focus on delivering differentiated features while ensuring the platform remains robust, certifiable, and future-ready.

Choosing the certified operating system from QNX meant we were able to shorten the timeline for getting the entire technology stack for our solution certified. If we had to certify an open-source operating system for our safe solution, our timelines and roadmap would probably look different. As a startup, we need to be mindful of our resources and spend less without compromising the quality of the outcome, both in terms of time and money.
