MCU-600 Datasheet

Electrification is accelerating across automotive, marine, aerospace, and defence. While each market presents unique demands, the pioneers driving this transition face a shared set of challenges: extending vehicle range, reducing system cost, and achieving meaningful product differentiation.

To meet these challenges head-on, Motion Applied developed MCU-600; engineered for exceptional efficiency, power density, and flexibility. Backed by decades of motorsports and automotive engineering expertise across mechanical, hardware, and software domains, MCU-600 delivers:

  • Over 7% increase in vehicle range through ultra-high efficiency and system downsizing

  • Lightweight powertrain systems enabled by industry-leading power density

  • Lower system costs through design optimisation and advanced manufacturing

  • Differentiated control experiences powered by patented software features

Alongside ourMCU-600 sits MCU-X, the integrated inverter platform. MCU-X leverages the same market-leading hardware and software design on a flexible platform that can be re-engineered with bespoke packaging for direct integration into your powertrain or vehicle.
