Collaboration within ASAM

ASAM was founded in December 1998 by a group of passionate and visionary experts who exchanged technical ideas, drove standardization and laid out road maps for future standardization of interfaces for the development and testing of ECUs. The fast growing membership and the increasing number of standards developed within ASAM were proof of the importance of standardization.
 
Although now grown into an international organization, ASAM has preserved its personal and visionary character. Until today, the standards are developed by experts recruited from our member companies. It is the same passion and commitment of our members that continue to drive standardization.
