Num@tec Automotive: the concept

Num@tec Automotive is an initiative for the coordination and structuring of cooperative R&D projects in the field of automotive electronics.
It was launched in 2004 with the goal of increasing the competitiveness of the automotive industry by valuing cooperative industrial R&D.

Partners and goals

To achieve this goal, a consortium has been established by 6 OEMs and suppliers (Renault, Renault Trucks, Delphi, Siemens VDO, Valeo and Visteon) and 5 research institutes (CEA, CNRS, Ecole des Mines de Paris, INRETS and INRIA). New partners like Freescale and Alstom Transport joined Num@tec Automotive's consortium to conduct projects in the areas defined. The consortium's activities focus on the coordination of R&D projects to design and develop software tools for the control of embedded automotive systems and architectures.
