Stellantis and Infineon Technologies have announced a collaboration. They will work together on the power supply architecture for Stellantis electric vehicles.
Stellantis and Infineon Technologies have signed supply and capacity agreements for Profet power switches and Siliziumkarbid-CoolSiC semiconductors. The Profet power switches replace conventional fuses and should enable Stellantis to introduce intelligent power management. The use of semiconductors is expected to improve the performance and efficiency of electric vehicles, and Stellantis' "STLA Brain" software architecture is also to be equipped with the Aurix microcontroller.
The companies also plan to set up a joint Power Lab to define scalable and intelligent power supply architectures for Stellantis' next generation of software-defined vehicles. The collaboration will secure the automotive group's supply of key semiconductor solutions. "As outlined in our strategic plan, Dare Forward 2030, we are securing the supply of crucial semiconductor solutions required to continue our transition to an electrified future leveraging innovative E/E architectures for our next-generation platforms", said Maxime Picat, Stellantis Chief Purchasing and Supplier Quality Officer.
