Infineon Technologies, a German chip manufacturer, and Delta Electronics, a Taiwanese energy and power management provider, are expanding their cooperation from industrial to automotive applications. The two companies will collaborate to develop more efficient and powerful solutions for electric vehicles (EVs), covering a wide range of components such as high and low-voltage semiconductors and power modules as well as microcontrollers used in EV drive applications such as the inverter, DC-DC converter, and onboard chargers.
To further advance their collaboration, Infineon and Delta will establish a joint innovation lab for automotive applications, called the Delta-Infineon Automotive Innovation Center. The center is set to be located at Delta’s site in Pingzhen, Taiwan, and will open in the second half of 2023.

The cooperation between Infineon and Delta has been successful in the industrial products sector for the past 25 years. Last year, the two companies developed a self-developed 3-in-1 system that integrates a solar system, home storage, and charging station.
Infineon’s President of Automotive division, Peter Schiefer, said, “Infineon and Delta share the common goal of developing increasingly energy-efficient and CO2-saving solutions that support global decarbonization efforts. Ensuring the energy efficiency of automotive applications is of paramount importance in our time, and we are committed to further improving it.”
James Tang, Corporate Vice President of Delta Electronics, added, “We see a growing demand in the automotive industry for innovative, clean, and energy-efficient solutions. Together with Infineon, we are committed to supporting the global transition to electromobility with our products and solutions and to bring electromobility to a whole new level.”
