The Waterloo, Ont.-based company signed an agreement with Coretura, a joint venture created by Daimler Truck and Volvo Group, to supply the software underpinning a new digital platform for commercial vehicles. (The Globe and Mail)
Talking point: BlackBerry developed Alloy Kore with Germany’s Vector Informatik to provide the underlying software for a vehicle’s digital systems. The platform is part of the company’s effort to generate more revenue from QNX, its most valuable business unit. QNX technology is already embedded in more than 275 million vehicles, but BlackBerry has reportedly earned relatively little from each one. The company says selling automakers the broader Alloy Kore platform could more than triple its QNX revenue per vehicle. The deal offers an early test of that strategy ahead of BlackBerry’s quarterly earnings on Thursday.
