One year after the debut of the miniaturised TUC.tiny prototype, TUC.technology takes a decisive step towards industrialising its vision of modular mobility. The Turin-based company has unveiled a complete ecosystem combining hardware, software and architecture to transform vehicles and environments into flexible and reconfigurable platforms.
TUC.technology presented two ready-to-use components for industrial integration at the IAA in Munich: TUC.micro, a universal miniature connector, and TUC.brain, an intelligent zonal controller. Coordinating the system is TUC.OS, the proprietary software that handles recognition, configuration and digital updating of the modules.
The components were shown in action inside the TUC.system, a reconfigurable modular dashboard concept. Here, personal devices such as tablets, smartphones and voice assistants coexist with dashboards, steering systems and smart living accessories. Integration takes place without additional wiring, thanks to the direct connection between TUC.micro, TUC.brain and TUC.OS.
The TUC.micro is designed as a plug&play interface that integrates power, data and mechanical locking in a single device. It can be installed anywhere in the vehicle, visible or hidden, and allows the secure and immediate connection of internal and external modules. Its architecture reduces wiring complexity, enabling modular and simplified management of automotive and consumer peripherals.
The TUC.brain is the control element of the entire system. Compatible with 12V, 24V and 48V architectures, it supports standard protocols such as CAN bus and Automotive Ethernet and integrates LTE and GNSS connectivity modules via TUC.RF. The control unit functions as a signal management hub, coordinating power, data and configuration of devices connected to the system. This approach fits into the trend of zonal electronic architectures, which aim to overcome traditional fragmented systems in favour of a more scalable and efficient infrastructure.
