As a world leader in powertrain control systems, we provide a comprehensive range of solutions for every class of vehicle and across every continent. Vehicle controllers collect all the data relating to the desired tractive torque, with information sources ranging from the driver to various systems, e.g., the transmission or ACC sensor. The data is used to specify the desired torque to the engine’s electronic injection system, via the CAN bus. The same approach is used to coordinate control of the various braking systems on the truck.
Customer-configurable electronic modules for body manufacturers to cover special requirements complement the standard vehicle controllers, rounding out our powertrain management offerings. Concrete mixers, dump trucks, tailboard trucks – all body manufacturers need access to the vehicle network. The electronic systems ensure full access to all vehicle data, in digital form, while also protecting the sophisticated components installed in modern vehicles.
Our control units for automatic transmissions make a major contribution to reaching our objective of cutting lifecycle costs. They ensure the vehicle is in the right gear, at the right time, allowing commercial vehicles to be op-erated as economically as possible. Robust design is also vital for increasing vehicle availability. The control unit is fitted directly to the transmission, creating short, reliable connections to valves and sensors and allowing significant savings on wiring.
