This adherence has further enhanced its competitive edge and provides a robust foundation for expanding its presence in the global market.
Ziyu Shen, Chairman and CEO of ECARX, commented: “Achieving ASPICE v4.0 CL3 is a testament to our relentless focus on R&D capability, quality control and process maturity. This certification not only validates the strength of our global R&D system but also sets the platform for us to support large-scale global mandates such as the ongoing project with Volkswagen Group where we provide solutions for their vehicles around the world. With the addition of this certification, we are building a platform to drive the next phase of our global expansion and meet the strict compliance requirements of global automakers.”
