Infineon and Stellantis Workforce As much as Advance Innovation in Energy Conversion and Distribution for Subsequent Technology of Car Architectures

• Collaboration goals to considerably improve value, vitality effectivity, driver expertise and automobile vary
• Firms signed provide and capability reservations for PROFET energy switches and silicon carbide (SiC) CoolSiC semiconductors

• Infineon’s scalable manufacturing capability is able to meet the market demand for automotive semiconductor options

Stellantis N.V. and Infineon Applied sciences AG introduced that they may work collectively on the ability structure for Stellantis’ electrical autos to help Stellantis’ ambition of providing clear, secure and reasonably priced mobility to all.

To help this, the businesses have signed main provide and capability agreements that can function the muse for the deliberate collaboration to develop the subsequent era of energy structure, together with:

• Infineon’s PROFET good energy switches, which is able to substitute conventional fuses, cut back wiring and allow Stellantis to develop into one of many first automakers to implement clever energy community administration.
• Silicon carbide (SiC) semiconductors, which is able to help Stellantis in its efforts to standardize its energy modules, enhance the efficiency and effectivity of EVs whereas additionally lowering prices.
• AURIX microcontrollers, which goal the primary era of the STLA Mind zonal structure.

Stellantis and Infineon are additionally within the means of extending their cooperation with the implementation of a Joint Energy Lab to outline the next-generation scalable and clever energy structure enabling Stellantis’ software-defined automobile.

“As outlined in our strategic plan, Dare Ahead 2030, we’re securing the availability of essential semiconductor options required to proceed our transition to an electrified future leveraging progressive E/E architectures for our next-generation platforms,” mentioned Maxime Picat, Stellantis Chief Buying and Provider High quality Officer.

“Infineon is now coming into a collaboration and innovation partnership with Stellantis,” mentioned Peter Schiefer, President of Infineon’s Automotive Division. “Because the world’s main automotive semiconductor vendor, we deliver our product-to-system experience and reliable electronics to the desk. Our semiconductors drive the decarbonization and digitalization of mobility. They improve the effectivity of automobiles and allow software-defined architectures that can considerably enhance the person expertise.”

With the world`s most cost-competitive SiC fab in Kulim, Malaysia, the upcoming 300-millimeter ”Good Energy Fab” in Dresden, Germany, and the three way partnership with TSMC and companions (ESMC) in addition to accompanying provide agreements with foundry companions, Infineon is able to totally meet market demand for automotive semiconductor options. Based on the market analysis firm TechInsights, Infineon is the worldwide primary provider of automotive microcontrollers with a market share of about 29 p.c of the worldwide automotive microcontroller market.
