Twin Motor Control Unit

Seamless shifting with Continental’s advanced Twin Motor Control unit (TMC)

Automation is rapidly advancing within the realm of motorcycles, with the aim of enhancing vehicle operation for greater safety and comfort. Limited spatial constraints to accommodate control units, sensors, and actuators in motorcycles have been a challenge, though. Continental has addressed this issue with the creation of the compact Twin Motor Control unit (TMC) with dimensions of only 120mm x 50mm x 105mm, which allows for extremely flexible installation.

The control unit for two-wheeled transmission automation streamlines the starting and shifting processes of a motorcycle, resulting in seamless downshifting, torque adjustment, and gear skipping. Its foundation lies in a systematic approach – an adaptable printed circuit board that can be mounted in various configurations tailored to the customer's specifications. As a result, the product's functionality can be customized with minimal additional effort. Even as automation advances, motorcyclists retain full control over their rides.
