Engineered for Integration
Alloy Kore™ is an automotive OS, co-developed by QNX and Vector, that combines a proven real-time operating system with a pre-integrated set of common automotive system services, including communication, diagnostics, configuration, orchestration, observability, power and thermal management, platform tooling, and security, into a single automotive software foundation. It is a production-ready, safety- and security-certified foundational platform for modern vehicle architectures.

Redefine Your Development Cycle

Alloy Kore offers a simplified approach to system configuration and standardized application development across ECU types. Designed to evolve with industry needs, it is shaped by real-world OEM insight to guide product direction, architecture, and use case priorities. Today, teams rebuild the same foundational software for every new SoC, ECU, and program. Alloy Kore turns that recurring work into a maintained baseline your teams build on, instead of rebuilding.

Reduced Integration Effort

Individually proven components do not make a production-ready system. Work still has to be done to integrate, test, align the safety and security evidence, and validate the whole. Alloy Kore does that work up front, combining a proven real-time operating system with pre-integrated automotive system services that are engineered, tested, and released together. Built to support the OEM vehicle operating systems and industry frameworks, it reduces supplier coordination and cost across the entire lifecycle.

Performance Optimization

Alloy Kore embeds core services like communication and security into the OS layer rather than stacking them as middleware. This integrated approach significantly reduces latency and CPU load, increasing efficiency and response times, which in turn enables OEMs and automotive suppliers to reduce costs by optimizing the hardware used.

Communication functions such as SOME/IP, safeIPC, and Zero Copy IPC ensure efficient data transfer. Integrated security functions – including firewall, qcrypto, and Security Policy Manager – meet the highest Cybersecurity requirements. Process and application management enable flexible control of vehicle functions through containerization, health monitoring, and state management. Standardized interfaces (SOVD, DOIP) and tools based on the configuration-as-code paradigm are available for Diagnostics and configuration.

The Core SDV Challenge: Managing Complexity at the Foundation

Investment in next-generation vehicle software is accelerating, but much of the effort is still consumed by foundational work rather than innovation. As complexity shifts below the application layer, integration and validation are slowing program velocity, with teams spending significant time managing fragmented stacks, platform defects, and increasing regulatory pressure.

This session brings together QNX and Vector experts to discuss why foundational software remains a challenge—and how the industry can better manage this complexity.
