UVCU: Universal Vehicle Control Unit
One controller for the whole vehicle
The UVCU is IonLab's in-house vehicle control unit. It coordinates the motor, battery, charging and auxiliary systems of an electric vehicle from a single box, so a specialist or low-volume vehicle does not need a separate controller for each subsystem.
What It Controls
• Drive: torque demand, drive modes and motor control
• Thermal: motor and battery cooling loops
• Cabin: heating by hot water or air-conditioning pump
• Charging: on-board charger and DC-DC converter
• Auxiliaries: power steering pump and dashboard gauges
Why It Is Different
Fully configurable I/O to suit customer vehicle.
Supports any system component if they are controlled by CANBus.
