Powertrain Control Module (PCM)

Precision Engine and Powertrain Control Electronics

Enhance fuel economy, reduce emissions and improve ride quality with PCM solutions that unify powertrain, transmission and suspension control. Build smarter powertrain systems for modern vehicles.

Overview

Modern powertrain systems are at the heart of vehicle performance, efficiency, and safety. Stricter emissions regulations and the demand for improved fuel economy have transformed engine and transmission management into highly sophisticated electronic systems. The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) integrates advanced control strategies for internal combustion engines, hybrid platforms and electrified drivetrains, ensuring optimal power delivery and compliance with global standards.

Today’s transmissions have evolved far beyond traditional gearboxes, incorporating control units and technologies such as Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT), Dual-Clutch Transmission (DCT) and Infinitely Variable Transmission (IVT). These innovations require precise solenoid control and real-time data processing, increasing semiconductor content and system complexity.

In addition to transmission and engine control, PCM solutions extend to critical safety and comfort applications like Anti-Lock Braking Systems (ABS) and Active Suspension, enabling enhanced stability, traction and ride quality. These systems rely on robust electronic control units to process sensor inputs and execute rapid actuation for improved handling and passenger safety.

By combining powertrain optimization with advanced chassis functions, PCM solutions deliver the intelligence, reliability and redundancy needed for next-generation vehicles.
