GM Powered Solutions launched a commercial vehicle ECM with base calibration for its 6.6-liter gas engine, reducing development timelines for integrators.

The brief

GM's new Engine Control Module (ECM) allows upfitters and vehicle builders to start engine integration programs with a running engine, rather than from a blank controller. This bypasses the most technical and least differentiated stage of engine integration, saving significant test-cell time for last-mile and work truck applications. The module supports tailoring for specific vehicle features, offering flexibility not previously available to external customers.

Takeaway

Commercial vehicle integrators and fleets spec'ing new vehicles using GM's 6.6-liter gas engine should evaluate the new ECM to accelerate development cycles and reduce engineering costs for on-road applications.
