ALL-NEW POWERNET HIGH-SPEED ELECTRICAL ARCHITECTURE
Chrysler Group’s new PowerNet electrical architecture is the backbone of the all-new seventh-generation 2011 Dodge Charger, delivering connectivity between advanced technologies and in-vehicle personalization, for enhanced driver awareness.

"PowerNet provides a significant improvement in vehicle network performance by employing the latest data communication technology,” said Alan Amici, Head of Electrical and Electronics — Chrysler Group LLC. “The network has been optimized to improve data throughput allowing Chrysler Group designers and engineers to add new features and plan for future growth."

PowerNet’s high- and low-speed data network can be equipped with as many as 40 individual modules, all designed to improve vehicle performance and enhance the comfort and safety of the all-new Dodge Charger’s driver and passengers.

“PowerNet enables all of the 2011 Dodge Charger’s advanced technologies to ‘talk to each other,’ making the Charger more responsive, its safety technologies more purposeful and the driver more aware and alert of his or her surroundings,” added Amici.

Within the PowerNet high-speed network, each module (e.g. Forward Collision Warning) processes its individual data and transmits the appropriate commands within the vehicle to activate any additional systems (e.g. anti-lock brake system and adaptive cruise control).

The all-new Uconnect Touch utilizes PowerNet’s low-speed data bus to handle personalization settings, instrument panel controls, entertainment and information applications (e.g. Keyless Enter-N-Go, smart remote start, SIRIUS Travel Link, iPod® Control, etc.), and comfort and convenience controls.
