General information

Short Summary
This company develops and provides advanced electronic control systems for innovative environmentally-friendly vehicles with high efficiency and superior performances.
The company is involved in the innovation process for sustainable mobility and has established profitable collaborations with automotive, commercial vehicles, agricultural machinery and off-highway vehicles OEMs.
It’s looking for international OEMs or Tier1 interested in collaborations.
Full Description
This Italian company was created in 2008 and is an acknowledged company that develops and provides innovative electronic control systems for vehicles.
The core business is focused on the supply of electronic control units and the development of control software IPs for BEV (Battery Electric Vehicles), HEV (Hybrid Electric Vehicles) and FCEVs (Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles) in automotive, agricultural machinery, commercial vehicles, construction and material handling equipment sectors.
The firm’s main aim has always been committing to ensure high-quality products, developed adopting advanced methodologies and tools for design, development and testing, with software and hardware solutions that guarantee full satisfaction of customer requirements (OEM and Tier1) to develop innovative on-board electronic control systems.
It provides support from prototype to pre-series and mass production, using a development and validation process compliant with the state-of-the-art in the automotive industry and homogeneously integrated with the process adopted by its customers.
The strength of this company is the presence of a close-knit and multidisciplinary team with strong skills in methodologies and tools, applied research, technologies and applications.
The relationships with the academic world and scientific research are constant, which have fueled the innovative character of the company.
Loyal long-term collaborations are active with important global industrial brands with whom innovation projects have been shared, relating to electronic controls and electric / hybrid electric propulsion, especially for the most important international and national luxury car and race car brands.
This company is a consolidated entrepreneurial reality well rooted in the reference industrial sectors; a reality capable of dealing with the most important innovative processes: from electric propulsion for the reduction of the environmental impact of transport, from the transformation of the production system in the context of Industry 4.0 and 5.0 to the revolution in the primary sector linked to the introduction of precision agriculture.
The company is interested in a manufacturing agreement or a commercial agreement with technical assistance with OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers located in the international markets for establishing a long-term collaboration.
Advantages and Innovations
1. Electronic Control Units for BEV/HEV/FCEVs
• Vehicle Control Module
• Transmission Control Unit
• Vehicle Dynamics Control Module

Electronic control units are developed according to state-of-the-art automotive processes, based on ASPICE and model-based design, in compliance to safety standards.

Vehicle Control Module is configurable for a variety of electrified powertrain architectures for automotive, commercial and off-highway vehicles. Optimized for different on-board energy storage and power generation technologies.

Transmission Control Unit is configurable for any powertrain layouts: series, parallel, compound, power-split, pure electric; sequential transmissions (MT, AMT, power-shift) and CVT.

Vehicle Dynamics Control Module includes vertical, lateral and longitudinal dynamics control: suspension levelling and damping control, cruise and adaptive cruise control, torque vectoring, all-wheel-drive, traction and launch control, regenerating breaking, etc .

2. Software IPs
• BEV/HEV/FCEV Powertrain Control
• Vehicle Dynamics Control
• Vehicle and Powertrain Control
• Transmission Control

It consists of sophisticated, embedded software control functions related to the above domains, developed according to automotive industry standards with a well-structured model-based design process from system design to control software development and validation. Proposed software IPs are suitable for integration on customer electronic control units.

3. Simulators for BEV/HEV/FCEVs
• Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) Simulators
• Driver-in-the-Loop (DIL) Simulators

HIL and DIL simulators for vehicle prove-of-concept and electronic control unit testing of battery electric, hybrid electric and fuel-cell electric vehicles. Based on detailed models of the vehicle and the electrified powertrain, provides accurate real-time emulation of vehicle behaviour in real-driving scenarios.
Stage of Development
  • Already on the market
Sustainable Development Goals
  • Goal 9: Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure
