VEHICLE CONTROL UNITS FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLES
Dorleco ToughCase Vehicle Control Units (VCUs) are the supervisory controllers of electric vehicles. Each unit ships production-ready with fully-built base software and supports Simulink-based application development โ available in 8 models ranging from 48 to 196 I/O pins, housed in rugged metal enclosures.
WHAT DOES A VEHICLE CONTROL UNIT DO IN AN ELECTRIC VEHICLE?
The Vehicle Control Unit (VCU) is the central brain of every electric vehicle. It coordinates all major powertrain subsystems โ the battery management system (BMS), motor inverter, onboard charger (OBC), and thermal management โ by translating driver inputs into real-time control commands.
Without a VCU, no EV can safely balance torque delivery, regenerative braking, and energy efficiency simultaneously. This is why OEMs, Tier 1 suppliers, and EV startups treat VCU selection as one of the most consequential decisions in platform design.
- Torque management and powertrain coordination
- Battery SoC monitoring and energy optimization
- Regenerative braking control
- Thermal management system orchestration
- CAN bus communication with BMS, MCU, OBC
- Safety diagnostics and fault handling
PRODUCTION-READY VCU SOLUTIONS
ToughCase TC154
High-density VCU for complex EV programs. 154 I/O pins deliver the range needed for commercial EV platforms and multi-motor configurations.
ToughCase TC112
Versatile 112-pin VCU suited to passenger EV platforms, light commercial vehicles, and applications requiring substantial I/O without maximum complexity.
ToughCase TC111
111-pin configuration โ a close sibling to TC112 with targeted I/O layout differences ideal for specific platform requirements.
ToughCase TC80
Compact 80-pin VCU ideal for light electric vehicles and two-wheelers where a smaller footprint matters alongside full Simulink-based development support.
ToughCase TC64
64-pin VCU for entry-level EV supervisory control applications. Balances cost-efficiency with the full pre-built base software of the ToughCase family.
ToughCase TC48
Entry-level 48-pin ToughCase VCU for compact EV platforms: e-scooters, e-bikes, and small 3-wheelers that need reliable supervisory control with Simulink support.
SmartCase EZ
The SmartCase EZ VCU offers configurable I/O in a lightweight, flexible form factorโdesigned for rapid EV prototyping and platforms where space is at a premium.
