ECU CUSTOMIZATION –

YOUR COMPETITIVE EDGE

Tight margins. Doing more with less. We understand how

difficult it can be to compete effectively in today’s business

environment. Increases in operating efficiency and driver

satisfaction can have a significant impact on your profitability

and ability to grow.

ABS systems of today are mandated and are already

equipped with inputs to monitor sensors, outputs to control

external components, communication with other vehicle

systems, as well as the tractor-trailer, in addition to the

computing capacity to make intelligent decisions. By specifying

the Bendix

Premium or Advanced ECU, your vehicles will

now be carrying a system that can leverage these capabilities

to your advantage.

Our Auxiliary Design Language (ADL) is a patent-

pending customization feature that accommodates quick,

custom subprograms while strictly maintaining the integrity

of the ABS function. Combine this with integrated additional

inputs and outputs, access to vehicle information and custom

data, and you have a system that can monitor, adjust, inter-

lock, control, broadcast ... the possibilities are endless.

Features that would normally come with their own

separate ECU may be able to be added to the Bendix

Premium or Advanced package, achieving a more cost-

effective solution. The customization process involves you,

the vehicle/trailer manufacturer and Bendix. Talk to your

Bendix account manager or vehicle/trailer manufacturer to

explore the possibilities.
