The fully integrated Body Control Units (BCUs) are central elements of vehicle electronics. They combine several functions in one housing and control practically all the vehicle’s electronic safety and comfort functions.

They make classical standard functions (actuation of lights, windshield wipers) possible. In addition, they are absolutely indispensable for new functions like PAssive Start and Entry (PASE) or Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems.

Thanks to their scalable architecture, they can be freely adapted to satisfy customer requirements, harmonize with a specific vehicle and respond to market demands. With their AUTOSAR-compatible software modules, the BCUs can be recommended for different vehicle manufacturers worldwide.

Continental, a technology leader in the vehicle electronics area, offers customized variants of these intelligent control units for the most diverse functions and vehicle classes.
