New Eagle has announced the launch of the OpenECU NX3, a control platform designed to simplify electrified vehicle architectures by consolidating charging and supervisory control into a single electronic control unit (ECU).
The NX3 is a single-controller solution combining Megawatt Charging System (MCS) and Combined Charging System (CCS) protocols with full vehicle supervisory control. This is intended to eliminate the need for multiple controllers, reducing system complexity, wiring and potential failure points. As commercial electric vehicle platforms scale, multi-controller architectures can increase costs and integration risk; the NX3 enables OEMs to consolidate these functions into one controller.
"The OpenECU NX3 is designed to simplify vehicle control systems architecture," said Kevin Alley, chief commercial officer at New Eagle. "We’re eliminating multi-controller complexity and delivering a single, production-ready platform that accelerates deployment of next-generation EV systems."
Built on the OpenECU platform and integrated with New Eagle’s Raptor toolchain, the NX3 supports development from model-based design through production deployment. The product launch follows New Eagle's recent acquisition of Pi Innovo, which expanded the company's hardware and software capabilities.
Key capabilities of the OpenECU NX3 include:
- Dual-inlet charging control — Supports both MCS and CCS protocols from a single ECU.
- Full vehicle supervisory control — Provides integrated management of the powertrain, charging, and auxiliary systems.
- Safety and security — Designed to meet ASIL-D functional safety and ISO 21434 cybersecurity requirements.
- Flexible development environment — Supports model-based development and C-code workflows.
In addition to the NX3, New Eagle is also introducing a new Charge Control Unit (CCU) and the DLC-12 driveline solution as part of its portfolio expansion for electrified vehicle systems. The OpenECU NX3 is available now.
