Control module for a vehicle with at least an electric motor and a transmission

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

• a housing for receiving a transmission control electronics unit, the housing including a housing upper part and a housing lower part;
• an inverter electronics unit for controlling an electric motor, the inverter electronics unit includes an upper side and a lower side, electronic construction elements are positioned on both the upper side and the lower side of the inverter electronics unit;
• a heat sink disposed between the housing upper part and the housing lower part, wherein the heat sink forms part of the housing;
• a media-tight cavity defined by the housing lower part and the heat sink, the inverter electronics unit is connected to the heat sink in a thermally conductive manner within the media-tight cavity;
• and
• a plastic casing surrounding the transmission control electronics unit, the transmission control electronics unit and the plastic casing together form the housing upper part;
• wherein the housing upper part is connected to the heat sink in a thermally conductive manner such that heat is transferred from the transmission control electronics unit to the heat sink.
