Zone Controllers Build Bridge to Tomorrow’s Technology
Several key trends are coming together to force a change in the way vehicles are designed and built. The number of electronic control units (ECUs) in a vehicle is growing, creating complexity in the wiring needed for power and data distribution. An explosion in sensor technologies to support active safety features is driving complexity in I/O. Rising labor costs are prompting manufacturers to look for more automatable assembly of wiring harnesses. And electrical power requirements are evolving to enable greater electrification, toward hybrid and full battery electric vehicles.
