Infineon and Stellantis Team Up to Advance Innovation in Power Conversion and Distribution for Next Generation of Vehicle Architectures

• Collaboration aims to significantly enhance cost, energy efficiency, driver experience and vehicle range
  
• Companies signed supply and capacity reservations for PROFET power switches and silicon carbide (SiC) CoolSiC semiconductors

• Infineon’s scalable production capacity is ready to meet the market demand for automotive semiconductor solutions
  
  

AMSTERDAM and Munich, Germany ‒ November 7, 2024 ‒ Stellantis N.V. and Infineon Technologies AG (FSE: IFX / OTCQX: IFNNY) announced today they will work jointly on the power architecture for Stellantis’ electric vehicles to support Stellantis’ ambition of offering clean, safe and affordable mobility to all.

To support this, the companies have signed major supply and capacity agreements that will serve as the foundation for the planned collaboration to develop the next generation of power architecture, including:

• Infineon’s PROFET smart power switches, which will replace traditional fuses, reduce wiring and enable Stellantis to become one of the first automakers to implement intelligent power network management.
• Silicon carbide (SiC) semiconductors, which will support Stellantis in its efforts to standardize its power modules, improve the performance and efficiency of EVs while also reducing costs.
• AURIX^TM microcontrollers, which target the first generation of the STLA Brain zonal architecture.
  
  

Stellantis and Infineon are also in the process of extending their cooperation with the implementation of a Joint Power Lab to define the next-generation scalable and intelligent power architecture enabling Stellantis’ software-defined vehicle.

“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.

“Infineon is now entering a collaboration and innovation partnership with Stellantis,” said Peter Schiefer, President of Infineon’s Automotive Division. “As the world’s leading automotive semiconductor vendor, we bring our product-to-system expertise and dependable electronics to the table. Our semiconductors drive the decarbonization and digitalization of mobility. They increase the efficiency of cars and enable software-defined architectures that will significantly improve the user experience.”
