Vehicle Electronic Systems
A range of intelligent control units deliver solutions for the vehicle’s electronic architecture
Key Facts
What can Vehicle Electronic Systems provide?
The Vehicle Control Module (VCM) is a central electronic control unit managing the dynamic longitudinal control of a commercial vehicle. It coordinates the powertrain, including engine, transmission and retarder, while also integrating ADAS functions such as Adaptive Cruise Control or Predictive Economic Cruise Control. The Central Vehicle Controller (CVC/MUX) manages the electrical loads throughout the vehicle to orchestrate vehicle functions such as light, wiper or climate control.
