Automaker Stellantis and German chipmaker Infineon announced on Thursday that they will collaborate to advance the power architecture for Stellantis’ upcoming vehicle models.
The two companies have signed supply and capacity agreements to lay the foundation for this partnership. As part of their cooperation, Infineon will provide smart power switches that will enable Stellantis to implement intelligent power network management and silicon carbide (SiC) semiconductors.
This collaboration aims to standardize power modules, enhancing electric vehicle (EV) performance and efficiency.
As the automotive industry increasingly turns to electrification and interconnection, the demand for advanced technology and semiconductors continues to rise. “We are securing the supply of crucial semiconductor solutions required to continue our transition to an electrified future,” said Maxime Picat, Stellantis Chief Purchasing and Supplier Quality Officer, in a statement. Infineonâs Peter Schiefer, president of the companyâs Automotive division, added, “Our semiconductors drive the decarbonization and digitalization of mobility. They increase the efficiency of cars and enable software-defined architectures.”
The automotive industry has faced significant challenges in recent years, particularly due to a global semiconductor shortage, which led to millions of lost vehicles in terms of production.
This partnership aims to ensure a stable supply of cutting-edge components, helping Stellantis stay at the forefront of the evolving market for electric vehicles.
