Stellantis, Infineon to jointly work on power structure of electric vehicles

Stellantis (STLA) and Infineon Technologies (IFNNY) announced 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(TM) 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. AURIXTM microcontrollers, which target the first generation of the STLA Brain zonal architecture.
