VCU: the drive coordinator

Useful to know

The Bosch vehicle control unit is a central controller for various types of propulsion. It can coordinate torque, modes, gears, high-voltage system, charging and thermal control according to the application. [1]

This is a wider task than managing just one electric motor or fuel injection. Not every option listed is present in every configuration. In a technical comparison, specify which functions are in the central VCU and which remain in separate blocks. Such box names are not enough, because the distribution of software tasks differs between car platforms.
