Daimler and Volvo: Revolution in the truck area with new software cooperation!

In a pioneering step, Daimler Truck and the Volvo Group have announced the foundation of their joint venture Coretura today, which specializes in the development of a common software -defined vehicle platform and an operating system for trucks.

Volvo CEO Martin Lundstedt meanwhile underlines the commitment of his company for sustainable and intelligent transport solutions. "At Coretura, we are working together on solutions that meet the latest requirements of the market," said Lundstedt. It is important to emphasize that, despite their cooperation in other areas, both manufacturers continue to act as competitors and maintain their own product and services.

goals and visions of Coretura

The joint venture will have its headquarters in Gothenburg, Sweden, and is well positioned with 50 employees in the start -up phase. The management team is managed by the experienced Volvo manager Johan Lunden. Coretura has set itself the ambitious goal of setting standards in digital transformation for software -defined heavy commercial vehicles, such as the Volvo Group reported.

Behind the initiative is the intention of giving the two companies and future customers the opportunity to offer independent digital vehicle functions. This also includes the development of central high -performance tax devices that can process large amounts of data. The company will thus be able to use key figures and analyzes from the vehicles in real time and to regularly improve the digital applications via wireless updates, as well as the Electronicet determined.

A look into the future

The final legal agreement for the joint venture is expected in the first half of 2025, depending on the necessary regulatory permits. Coretura is aimed at an independent development, with a 50:50 participation of the two companies in the foreground. This is intended to define the new company the industrial standard for truck operating systems and also offer products from other manufacturers (OEMs) the opportunity to benefit from it.

Overall, this joint effort shows that Daimler Truck and Volvo not only want to rely on digitization, but also want to make a contribution to CO2-neutral mobility. The focus is on the development goals and the fulfillment of customer requirements. The heart of the collaboration lies in the creation of a flexible platform with which vehicles can be designed smart and sustainably. It remains exciting to see how this joint venture will develop in practice and what innovative solutions it can bring on the market.
