VEHICLE CONTROL UNIT

VEHICLE CONTROL UNIT

Electric vehicles are made up of many components that need to communicate with each other. A Vehicle Control Unit (VCU) is the brain of a vehicle responsible for managing this communication.


Other VCUs on the market are large, expensive, incompatible with many applications and components, and/or are only designed for specific ecosystems. Most Micro-mobility startups are stuck with these ecosystems, or end up facing the expense of developing their own.


EDL’s VCU is the modular swiss army knife of hardware management designed to be vendor agnostic and compatible with any hardware. It is IP67 waterproof, compact, affordable and modular, which allows us to keep costs down, with optional feature expandability as needed.

STOP WORRYING ABOUT COMPATIBILITY

Are you tired of trying to figure out if the components you want in your vehicle are compatible? Are you frustrated with trying to work with black boxes that you can't get the right behavior out of? Worry no longer!​

Engineering Design Lab will custom program this computer for your unique vehicle. Adjusting responsiveness, controllability, and vehicle behaviors based on user interactions. We will customize its program to whatever special sensors, lights, actuators, motors, and other components you want to use. We can fine tune the behavior so your final vehicle is responsive, safe, and effective. This modular versatile VCU is designed for compatibility with any vehicle architecture.
