In order to assist Stellantis’ goal of providing everyone with clean, safe, and reasonably priced mobility, the company and Infineon Technologies AG announced that they will collaborate on the power architecture for Stellantis’ electric vehicles.
In order to facilitate this, the businesses have inked significant supply and capacity agreements, which will form the basis of the anticipated partnership to create the next generation of power architecture. These agreements include:
By replacing conventional fuses with Infineon’s PROFETTM smart power switches, Stellantis will be able to cut down on wiring and be among the first automakers to adopt intelligent power network management.
In addition to helping Stellantis standardize its power modules, silicon carbide (SiC) semiconductors will save prices while enhancing EV performance and efficiency.
Targeting the first iteration of the STLA Brain zonal architecture are AURIXTM microcontrollers.
In addition, Stellantis and Infineon are expanding their collaboration by establishing a Joint Power Lab to specify the next-generation intelligent and scalable power architecture that will support Stellantis’ software-defined vehicle.
“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, as outlined in our strategic plan, Dare Forward 2030,” stated Maxime Picat, Chief Purchasing and Supplier Quality Officer at Stellantis.
