The zone controller is responsible for the intelligent distribution of energy and data within a specific zone of the zonal architecture. Both the development and the provision of the product for customers are carried out in collaboration with Valeo. As Tier 1, Valeo takes care of communication and data processing as well as the production process. LEONI, in turn, is responsible for the safe and reliable power supply for all applications within the zone. This is the basis for an innovative and optimized E/E architecture.
• Enabling an optimized E/E architecture
• Synergy and integration approach for energy and data distribution, enabling zonal control
• Cost savings by reducing the number of functional control units and optimizing the vehicle electrical system in terms of complexity, weight and installation space
• Enabling a secure power supply for safety-relevant functions such as steering and brakes and data communication for ADAS functions in the vehicle
