TRATON will build its truck software platform on Red Hat's in-vehicle operating system
The truck group said it plans to incorporate Red Hat's automotive Linux into TRATON ONE OS while keeping architecture, safety and regulatory responsibility itself.
TRATON said on September 9 that it plans to incorporate Red Hat In-Vehicle Operating System into TRATON ONE OS, the software platform it is building for Scania, MAN, International and Volkswagen Truck & Bus. The group described the platform as resting on a safety-certified Linux foundation, open technologies and standardized interfaces.
The release set out a division of responsibility. TRATON said it retains responsibility for the overall TRATON ONE OS architecture, for vehicle safety, for regulatory compliance and for customer-facing vehicle functions. It also said the collaboration is non-exclusive, leaving the group free to work with other suppliers on the same platform.
Stefan Teuchert, senior vice president for the EE platform at TRATON GROUP, and Francis Chow, vice president and general manager for In-Vehicle Operating System at Red Hat, were quoted. Chow referred to container-native technology and to streamlining software updates worldwide.
TRATON said building on a safety-certified Linux foundation, open technologies and standardized interfaces is meant to create a more standardized environment for suppliers, technology partners and internal teams across its brands and vehicle platforms. The release did not give a date for the first vehicle to ship with the combined platform, and gave no financial terms.
TRATON SE is listed in Frankfurt. No disclosure of the agreement’s terms was locatable in a register reachable from here, so the release is the whole of the public record.
