Mazda Motor Corporation has selected the PTC Codebeamer Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) solution to support its software-defined vehicle development (SDV).

The automaker will use the platform to standardise requirements, testing, and validation, enabling end-to-end traceability and faster product development while meeting stringent automotive standards.

Codebeamer enables streamlined workflows, early issue detection, and maintained connectivity between Model-Based Development data, requirements, and validation results. This is crucial for automotive companies because it helps ensure every stage of the vehicle development process is traceable and aligned. This transparency helps teams quickly identify and resolve issues, reduces the risk of errors, and supports compliance with industry regulations.

“As our vehicles become increasingly software driven, it is essential that our product development teams operate within a connected and disciplined development environment,” said Mr. Tomohiko Adachi, Supreme Principal Engineer, KURUMA Development Division, Mazda Motor Corporation.

“Codebeamer helps us strengthen requirements traceability and visibility, supporting greater alignment across teams as we continue to evolve our development approach.”

Mazda will use the unified product data foundation to build a strong project knowledge base, replacing fragmented legacy tools. This integration enables improved quality, compliance, and efficient reuse of decisions and test results.

“Mazda is embracing software-defined vehicle development,” said Robert Dahdah, Chief Revenue Officer at PTC.

“Using Codebeamer helps consolidate dispersed documentation, supporting requirements management and collaboration, enabling faster decision-making, more efficient product development cycles, and enhanced quality, innovation, and collaboration.”
