In addition to its technological competence, Delta Electronics stands out in the worldwide e-mobility scene for its vision, flexibility, and dedication to sustainable solutions. During the Taipei AMPA, E-Mobility Taiwan 2035, and Autotronics Taipei show, Alessandro Sossa-Izzi, Global PR & Corporate Communications Manager, Delta Electronics, gave an exclusive interview. He disclosed that Delta has shipped more than 3 million EV chargers worldwide over the last 15 years, making it a pioneer in electric mobility long before it became popular.
With 73 R&D facilities worldwide and more than 12,000 engineers working for it, Delta devotes 8–10% of its yearly sales on research and development. The organisation is able to consistently create and localise products for various markets because of its solid backbone. “At Delta, innovation never stops. We spent 10% of our income on research and development last year, which is more than most tech companies do,” Alessandro said. “And we do it all over the world—our R&D centre in India is essential for adjusting and creating solutions tailored to specific markets.“
The Indian R&D team at Delta is currently creating exclusive items that the firm does not sell elsewhere, like rolling stock power solutions for trains. It embodies Delta’s “local solutions, global knowledge” concept.
Comprehensive E-Mobility Solutions
EV chargers are not the only function of Delta. It offers complete solutions for the entire e-mobility ecosystem, including power conversion, thermal management systems, and car electronics. We offer traction motors, power inverters, powertrain solutions, and even fans for seat cooling and entertainment systems. From infotainment to battery energy conversion, we handle it everything,” he said.
Another area of competence is thermal management. Since 2006, Delta has led the world in DC brushless fans, and it is now utilising this technology in EVs, from sophisticated vapour chambers for cooling autonomous vehicle systems to radiator fans.
Taking the Lead with Megawatt Technologies
With its recently introduced Megawatt Charging System (MCS) for trucks and buses, Delta is ready for the shift to electric power in commercial fleets and logistics. A 100 kWh battery may be sufficient for a Tesla, but trucks require far more. Megawatt charging can help with that. In around one hour, our MCS can recharge a truck,” he stated. “And our cooling technology makes it feasible—it’s not just about power.”
At the exhibition, Delta demonstrated its 50 kW DC fast charger, which is about 25 cm deep and weighs less than 100 kg. This demonstrated the company’s emphasis on small, easy-to-use infrastructure for densely populated urban environments.
Intelligent Energy Management: A Whole System
Delta’s integrated smart energy solutions, which include solar generation, energy storage, and charging, demonstrate the company’s dedication to sustainability. “Just having chargers is insufficient. What’s the source of that electricity? We provide an entire ecosystem, including inverters and solar panels using smart energy management, storage systems, and 99.2% efficiency,” he said.
Between 2010 and 2023, Delta’s initiatives have saved customers 45.5 billion kWh of electricity, which is equivalent to one month’s worth of power in Texas or all of Germany.
Indian Localised Solutions
One important market where Delta is expanding quickly is India. The company is a key actor in India’s digital and green transitions, powering 700,000 telecom base stations and installing over 8,000 EV chargers. “The Indian market is distinct. We are investing in localised engineering—i.e., items made in India for India—for this reason. We are adaptable and pay attention to what the client truly needs,” Alessandro stated.
Delta offers EV solutions for e-bikes, three-wheelers, and two-wheelers. In order to promote last-mile connection and sustainable cities, the company offers traction drives for e-bikes, mobile chargers for scooters, and battery swapping.
Future Priorities: AI & Smart Manufacturing
AI, smart manufacturing, and smart cities are three global megatrends that Delta is coordinating its strategy with. “To conduct manufacturing simulations prior to actual production, we are investing in digital twins. Time and money are saved,” he stated. “Delta wants to enable smart, sustainable cities through EV infrastructure, smart buildings, and AI data centres.”
From retrofits to state-of-the-art configurations, Delta already offers AI data centre solutions, such as high-efficiency cooling and power systems customised for various facility types.
Despite having its headquarters in Taiwan, Delta has a strong global footprint in local ecosystems. For example, almost every employee in India, from engineers to executives, is hired locally. It feels Indian when you visit Delta India. The media portrays us as a local business. He said with pride, “That’s a rare level of integration for a global firm.”
Delta Electronics is much more than just a component provider; its products range from EV charging and grid stabilisation to AI-ready infrastructure and smart cities. It is a pioneer in sustainability, a market listener, and a systems integrator. The company’s distinctive combination of flexibility, worldwide reach, and vision guarantees its sustained leadership in the ensuing decades. “At Delta, we foresee trends rather than merely following them. We plan for that world ten years from now,” Alessandro said.
