Efficiency and safety for new Stellantis models

Thanks to our decades-long collaboration with Peugeot, for whom we have developed several models of Power Distribution Units, Stellantis has entrusted us with the development of an electronic control unit, named IDB (Interior Distribution Unit), for the Stellantis NEA EE2020 platform.

The IDB is produced in three variants: LE (Low End), HE (High End), and ME (Medium End). It houses Micro2 and Micro3 blade fuses, unslotted MCase fuses, one or two relays (depending on the variant), five connectors, and a microprocessor with its SBC for safety functionality management.

The main functions of the IDB include: powering the electronic control units within the vehicle; acquiring analog and digital inputs to manage various functionalities such as climate control, steering wheel and windshield heating, seat heating and movement; and power distribution, with electrical protection, for functions like roof opening, steering wheel and windshield heating, seat heating and movement, audio amplification, and more.

Stellantis decided to award this product to MTA due to our hardware development capabilities, software development and validation expertise, and particularly our competency in developing and validating the product according to ISO26262 standards specific to Functional Safety.

The IDB is produced and assembled at our Italian facility in Rolo on a fully automated line that employs an innovative insertion technology called press-fit, which does not require welding.
