Jang Ji-hwan, CEO of Vector Korea IT, is receiving the SDV Platform Innovation Award at the '2026 K-Mobility Tech Awards'.

Support for the development ecosystem of major OEMs such as Hyundai Motor and Mobis

Vector Korea IT has been officially recognized for its value as a software infrastructure company driving over 10 billion automotive ECUs worldwide during the SDV transition. This award recognizes its technological prowess in building a core platform that connects the entire automotive software development process and its contributions to the industry.

Vector announced on the 17th that it won the SDV (Software Defined Vehicle) Platform Innovation category at the '2026 K-Mobility Tech Awards'.

Automobiles are structured so that most functions, such as starting, braking, and lane recognition, are controlled through the ECU.

The ECU consists of various control units distributed within the vehicle, and the communication and control logic between them determine vehicle performance.

Vector supplies software tools and platforms necessary for ECU development and verification.

Major products include CANoe, MICROSAR, VectorCAST, and CANape, and are used for vehicle network design and analysis, simulation-based verification, etc.

This technology is being applied to the development processes of major domestic automakers and parts manufacturers, including Hyundai Motor, Kia, Hyundai Mobis, and HL Mando.

As the automotive industry shifts toward SDVs, the standardization of software development environments is emerging as a crucial factor.

Vector is an initial founding member of the AUTOSAR Consortium, a global automotive software standard, and has participated in the process of defining standards and applying technology.

Through this, it plays an intermediary role in applying global development methods to domestic industries.

In addition, it is participating in the development of the automotive software platform 'Alloy Kore' and contributing to the establishment of SDV-based software architecture.

Vector is expanding its role not only in technology supply but also in talent development.

Through 'Vector Academy', we provide education in fields such as automotive communications, AUTOSAR, functional safety, and cybersecurity.It is empty.

Through this, it is strengthening automotive software engineering capabilities while contributing to the diffusion of technology across the entire industrial ecosystem.

The industry expects the importance of software development infrastructure to continue increasing during the SDV transition process.

As the implementation of vehicle functions shifts from a hardware-centric to a software-centric approach, the role of companies providing development tools and verification platforms is expanding.

Amidst these changes, Vector is establishing itself as an infrastructure provider supporting the domestic automotive software ecosystem.
