Commercial & Off-Highway Vehicles

Efficient ECU Development
The commercial vehicles industry is embracing embedded electronics to optimize and expand the performance of applications for trucks, buses, and off-highway vehicles. Efficiency, productivity and innovation are key in today’s vehicle electronics world. New technologies such as hybrid drives are gaining momentum. ECU software is becoming more complex, and numerous components from suppliers have to be integrated into vehicles. Moreover, as a commercial vehicles manufacturer, you usually have to handle numerous variants and custom requirements. All this adds up to enormous complexity and diversity. And commercial vehicles are usually produced in smaller quantities than passenger cars, though they command far higher prices. As a consequence, both the development process and the development tools in the commercial vehicles industry have to be enormously efficient and flexible to master cost and development time, and to handle variants and integration tasks. To be equipped for the challenges, you need a partner that can provide you with a well-proven, highly efficient development environment: dSPACE. We will support you from beginning to end, giving you proven, flexible, perfectly integrated solutions from a single source. dSPACE supports all the development phases, from architecture-based system design and block-diagram-based function prototyping to ECU autocoding and HIL testing. dSPACE‘s products and development teams are in constant demand by many major commercial vehicle manufacturers and suppliers.
