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
