Powertrain Control and System Integration Technology from OEM’S Perspective

Powertrain control is significant for commercial vehicles to meet the requirements of energy-saving and emission regulations; also it is critical to improve the power performance of vehicles. Under the pressure of cost, the diversities of user-requirement, frequently changing market, FAW makes a deep study of powertrain control, while some non OEM-specific functions, for example some components in basic software, are developed by suppliers and integrated by FAW. The product development platform for powertrain is built following this way, based on which some OEM-specific features can be implemented rapidly and efficiently. These features will make the products more competitive in the market. This paper gives an overview to the powertrain control development situation of FAW, including the system integration strategy and the coordination control between the networked ECUs on vehicle.
