Control unit for a vehicle with at least one electric motor and a transmission

A control unit for a vehicle with at least one electric motor and a transmission, the control unit comprising:

• a housing configured to accommodate transmission control electronics and converter electronics for controlling an electric motor, the housing comprises:
• a housing upper part, and
• a housing lower part;
• and
• a heat sink, the heat sink arranged between the housing upper part and the housing lower part in such a way that the heat sink forms a part of the housing, the heat sink including a raised peripheral rim, wherein the housing upper part is arranged on the rim in a thermally conductive way such that the housing upper part and the heat sink form a media-tight cavity for accommodating the converter electronics and the transmission control electronics,
• wherein the converter electronics are connected directly to the heat sink in a thermally conductive way, and
• wherein the transmission control electronics are connected to an inner side of the housing upper part in a thermally conductive way such that a transport of heat takes place from the transmission control electronics, via the housing upper part, to the rim of the heat sink.
