Vehicle with a power distributor control unit, and bistable relay

A vehicle, comprising:

• a control unit;
• a power distributor comprising a bistable relay having at least one coil;
• wherein the bistable relay comprises an integrated circuit, the bistable relay being settable to first and second switching states;
• wherein the control unit is operatively configured to activate the integrated circuit of the bistable relay via a single control line, the control unit defining one of the first and second switching states by way of a control signal, wherein the control unit is electrically connected to the bistable relay only by way of the single control line;
• wherein the control unit applies a first control voltage or a second control voltage as the control signal to the single control line, the first control voltage corresponding to the first switching state and the second control voltage corresponding to the second switching state;
• and
• wherein the integrated circuit is operatively configured to switch a current pulse through the at least one coil in order to set the bistable relay to the switching state defined by the control unit.
