Overview
MoTeC M1 VCUs deliver an exciting new era of EV control capability. Unique M1 technology redefines the potential for customization using MoTeC’s M1 Build and M1 Tune software.
M1 VCUs are also suitable for HEV applications, with the ability to control modern internal combustion engines, drive-by-wire, variable cam control, and sequential gearboxes.
Advanced, multi-level security makes the M1 VCU a highly flexible solution for both category management and custom implementations that require authorized VCU access.
M1 EV Solutions
MoTeC offers M1 solutions with varying levels of adaptability and customization.
Targeted Solutions
VCU firmware configured to a specific vehicle or engine which can include integration with vehicle control systems beyond the engine, e.g. stability control and cruise control.
Development Solutions
Customized control strategies at the firmware level, developed by the user within M1's coding environment, creating unique VCU functionality. This firmware can be loaded into a single Development VCU or rolled out for customers to purchase.
Ruggedized
For marine applications or environments subject to dirt or dust, the extra level of protection for electronic components of the ruggedized series M1 hardware ensures maximum longevity.

Electrical
Normal operation supply voltage: 8 to 32 V - all features including sensor supplies operate normally.
Supply voltage must not exceed 35 V to prevent damage.
Protected against reverse battery voltage.
Restricted operation supply voltage: 6 V to 8 V - the ECU will still function but sensor supplies may not be as specified.
