Complexity out. Speed in.
SECOR - The quantum leap for the
software-defined vehicle (SDV) of the future.

Move fast - simplify with SECOR SDV Concept

Our patent-pending SECOR SDV CONCEPT will significantly reduce the complexity of automotive electronics with standardized chips and a modular software library. This will shorten development times, accelerate market launches, significantly reduce costs for OEMs and optimize the use of resources.

SECOR provides OEMs and decision-makers with significant advantages:

  • Significantly reduced complexity in vehicle development thanks to reusable software and access to a certified APP library (similar to the Apple Store)
  • Faster market launch of new models and features as a result
  • Significant cost benefits in development and production
  • Reduced integration effort due to reduction of components
  • Future-proof thanks to flexible, update-capable software architecture and interchangeable hardware with the same range of functions
  • Significant weight reduction with optimized material usage

The SECOR SDV Concept

With our SDV architecture, we significantly reduce the structural complexity in control unit topologies and the integration effort by reducing the number of components. This simplifies development, supply chain and lifecycle management – while simultaneously reducing costs.

To the SECOR SDV CONCEPT

Standardized chips & modular software library

Our solution is based on a patented, rethought electronics architecture for software-defined vehicles (SDV). It is a quantum leap and creates the basis for standardized modules for the first time – flexible, future-proof and OEM-independent.

To the SECOR ARCHITECTURE

Systematically less complexity

SECOR combines standardized hardware components (SoCs, I/O modules) with a reusable, modular software library. This accelerates development processes and enables a genuine platform economy in vehicle construction. Hardware and software are flexibly combined via an API interface and can therefore be added to or replaced independently.

More about CHIPS & LIBRARY

Hardware - standardized

Semiconductors and CPUs that are installed in vehicles are standardized and interchangeable – similar to x86 PCs. Just as IBM once made functionally compatible components usable, we are now revolutionizing the automotive industry.

Software -
standardized

A modular software library is compatible with SECOR semiconductors. This means that vehicle functions can be integrated flexibly and error-free into any SECOR CPU.
