Cooperation for higher system efficiency
Infineon Technologies AG and Visteon Corporation have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to jointly develop future powertrain solutions for electric vehicles. The collaboration focuses on power converters based on wide-bandgap semiconductors - in particular gallium nitride (CoolGaN™) and silicon carbide (CoolSiC™) from Infineon. These technologies enable more efficient energy conversion, higher power density and better thermal properties compared to conventional silicon solutions.
Areas of application for future vehicle generations
The new components will be used in battery junction boxes, DC/DC converters and on-board chargers in future e-vehicle platforms from Visteon. By integrating Infineon components, both companies aim to reduce system costs while increasing robustness and reliability.
Technology partnership for sustainable mobility
“By working with Infineon, we can integrate cutting-edge semiconductor technologies that are essential for improving the energy conversion efficiency and overall system performance of next-generation electric vehicles,” says Dr. Tao Wang, head of the Electrification product line at Visteon Corporation.
Infineon also sees strategic potential in the partnership: "Visteon is a recognized innovator that is an early adopter of new technologies. That's why the company is an ideal partner for us," explains Peter Schaefer, Chief Sales Officer Automotive at Infineon.
“Together, we will further expand the possibilities of electric vehicle technology and offer first-class solutions to the global automotive industry.”
