The firm and Infineon Technologies AG announced that they will work together on the power architecture for Stellantis’ electric vehicles, supporting the company’s mission to provide everyone with affordable, safe, and clean mobility.
The companies have signed important supply and capacity agreements to help with this, and these will serve as the foundation for the expected collaboration to develop the next generation of power architecture. Among these agreements are:
Stellantis will be able to save wiring and be one of the first automakers to implement intelligent power network management by substituting Infineon’s PROFETTM smart power switches for traditional fuses.
Silicon carbide (SiC) semiconductors will help Stellantis standardize its power modules, improve EV performance and efficiency, and reduce costs.
AURIXTM microcontrollers are aimed at the initial version of the STLA Brain zonal architecture.
The establishment of a Joint Power Lab to create the next-generation intelligent and scalable power architecture that will support Stellantis’ software-defined vehicle is another way that Infineon and Stellantis are deepening their partnership.
The Chief Purchasing and Supplier Quality Officer at Stellantis, Maxime Picat, said, “As outlined in our strategic plan, Dare Forward 2030, we are leveraging innovative E/E architectures for our next-generation platforms to secure the supply of critical semiconductor solutions needed to continue our transition to an electrified future.”
