Building the Foundation for Automotive Quality: AutoCore Officially Achieves Authoritative ASPICE L2 Process Capability Certification

As automotive electrical and electronic (E/E) architectures advance into central computing, the decisive factor in system software competition lies not only in foundational technology breakthroughs, but also in the rigor and certainty of large-scale engineering delivery.

AutoCore Technology (Nanjing) Co., Ltd. has officially achieved the internationally recognized ASPICE (Automotive Software Process Improvement and Capability Determination) Level 2 (Managed Level) certification. This milestone demonstrates that AutoCore meets the automotive industry's premier standards across all dimensions, including system architectural design, full-lifecycle software engineering, controlled quality and configuration management, bidirectional traceability, and mass-production delivery.

01 / Production-Grade Threshold: ASPICE L2 Redefines Software Delivery Certainty

In traditional automotive manufacturing, software was long regarded as an accessory to hardware. In today's software-defined vehicle (SDV) era, however, the codebase per vehicle has surged into the hundreds of millions of lines, and system software stability directly affects power distribution, steering, braking, and overall vehicle safety.

Delivering automotive-grade software to OEMs is a rigorous test of engineering discipline and maturity. Jointly established by leading European automakers, ASPICE (Automotive SPICE) serves as the globally recognized benchmark for assessing software engineering process capability, quality, and delivery maturity.

ASPICE Level 2 represents a core production gateway required by leading global OEMs for system software suppliers:

• Software development must not rely on ad-hoc fixes; it must establish an institutionalized, standardized, end-to-end controlled, and reproducible engineering framework.
• Strict, seamless, and 100% bidirectional traceability must be established across software requirements, software architecture, detailed design, unit verification, integration testing, and software qualification testing.
• Every change request, defect resolution, and release baseline must undergo closed-loop quality gate reviews and configuration audits, ensuring high reliability and zero latent defects in deliverables.

Achieving ASPICE Level 2 certification signifies that AutoCore has accomplished a critical leap from technical innovation to engineering excellence and institutionalized, large-scale delivery.

02 / Production Synergy: Delivering Reliable One-Stop SDV Solutions to OEMs

Amid intensifying competition and severely compressed vehicle development cycles, OEMs demand that system software achieve rapid customization while uncompromisingly adhering to automotive-grade safety and quality baselines.

Attaining ASPICE Level 2 establishes a rock-solid quality commitment for AutoCore's deep collaboration with global OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers:

• Seamless alignment with OEM quality management systems: Every delivered AutoCore SDV solution, integrating AutoCore's core products, protocol stacks, and toolchains, is accompanied by complete, compliant, and standardized ASPICE process work-product packages. These provide authoritative compliance verification for vehicle-level ASPICE assessments and joint production delivery.
• Accelerating global production deployments: Together with AutoCore's ISO 26262 ASIL-D functional safety certification, ISO/SAE 21434 automotive cybersecurity management system certification, and ISO/IEC 27001 information security management system certification, AutoCore has established a comprehensive automotive qualification matrix spanning functional safety, cybersecurity, information security, and process quality. This empowers OEM production vehicle programs worldwide.
