Coretura and Accenture Join Forces to Reinvent the Development of Software-Defined Commercial Vehicles
Coretura has signed an engineering agreement with Accenture to accelerate the development of its software platform for trucks, buses and other medium and heavy-duty commercial vehicles. The collaboration supports Coretura’s current roadmap to deliver first commercialized products toward the end of the decade. As Coretura’s engineering partner, Accenture brings SDV and broader automotive engineering capabilities, including strengths in electrical and electronic (E/E) architecture and software abstraction, as well as proven experience from the commercial and passenger car industry. Combined with Coretura’s platform vision, these capabilities will enable fast, seamless innovation for the entire commercial vehicle industry. When Daimler Truck and Volvo Group, two world leading commercial vehicle manufacturers, chose to build a joint software foundation, they made a structural bet on openness and collaboration—that the future of commercial vehicles matters more than competition. This future is built on vehicles that are no longer defined by hardware alone, but increasingly by software. Important functions that used to rely on many separate built-in electronic control units are increasingly managed by a central software system. Today, manufacturers buy and integrate software, but each new project starts from zero rather than building on a shared platform. Coretura was founded to bring platform thinking to the industry and address this cycle directly. The company will deliver one platform with one language and one standard for the software that powers commercial vehicles operating around the clock for 15+ years. To accelerate the development of the platform, Coretura has commissioned Accenture as its engineering partner. The two companies will bring a shared AI-driven innovation mindset and complementary roles to the collaboration. Coretura gains specialist capacity that accelerates foundational platform development while retaining full ownership of the architecture and strategic direction. Working alongside Coretura's team on the development, integration, testing, documentation, and compliance of the platform, Accenture helps to drive both speed and scale. The shift from hardware-first to software-defined is a profound cultural and operational change. The industry is moving from concept to industrialisation, from SDV marketing to AI-based software engineering. The collaboration of Coretura, a purpose-built platform company, and Accenture, a global engineering powerhouse, signals the importance of the work for the industry. To commercial vehicle manufacturers across the globe, Coretura’s new platform will provide a reusable, generation-independent software stack that lowers costs and secures consistent time to market. For fleet operators and end customers, it will enable commercial vehicles that keep getting smarter, safer, and more valuable long after launch, with new features and performance upgrades delivered continuously over the air. Coretura, with support from Accenture, will bring those benefits to market faster. The collaboration complements Coretura’s ongoing investment in its own team. The company continues to actively hire across system architecture, high-performance compute, middleware, functional safety, cybersecurity, and cloud infrastructure. With over 100 engineers from more than 15 countries, Coretura sits at the rare intersection of deep commercial vehicle knowledge and modern software thinking - and that combination is what makes this work different. Coretura is a 50:50 joint venture between Daimler Truck and Volvo Group. Both founding shareholders fully support this collaboration.
