EV Control Unit

Outline
EV control unit (EV-ECU) is the control unit to manage the electric
vehicle operations.

Features
Mitsubishi Electric has developed and produces EV-ECU with
optimum control technologies from the experiences of powertrain
(engine & transmission) control and power electronics (inverter &
battery) control, and compact, light weight & low cost technologies
from powertrain ECU development.
• Unification of control and monitoring for various EV functions
• Light weight mold housing
• Compactness with application of advanced microcomputer and
system LSI
