Investing.com -- Ecarx Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:ECX) stock rose 7.7% after the global mobility tech provider released a white paper detailing its successful integration of Google (NASDAQ:GOOGL) Automotive Services (GAS) into vehicle infotainment systems.

The company revealed it had significantly reduced the time required for GAS certification, cutting the typical 12-18 month process to just 10 months for the Volvo (OTC:VLVLY) EX30 and further improving to eight months for the Polestar (NASDAQ:PSNY) 4 electric SUV coupé.

The white paper, titled "Rapid Integration of Google Automotive Services: How ECARX Halved Integration Time for World-Leading GAS on AAOS IVI," outlines the company’s proactive, test-driven approach to implementing Google services like Maps, Assistant, and Play Store on Android Automotive OS platforms.

ECARX detailed how it integrated a significant portion of Google’s test suite directly into its continuous integration/continuous deployment pipelines, allowing for immediate identification of potential issues. The company also created a dedicated "test farm" capable of running more than 1.6 million automatic test cases and producing results within hours.

"We’re excited to share some of the details of our experience of delivering secure and stable Android Automotive OS IVI, with GAS integration," said Peter Cirino, Chief Operating Officer of ECARX. "While ECARX has developed technologies and approaches tailored to our approach, our white paper has insights worth considering by any automaker considering how to deliver compliant GAS services rapidly to their customers."

The company implemented these solutions on both industry-standard Qualcomm (NASDAQ:QCOM) Snapdragon SoCs and ECARX’s own Antora 1000 computing platform for in-vehicle infotainment systems.
