Infineon Technologies AG and Stellantis N.V. have announced a strategic collaboration aimed at advancing the power architecture of Stellantis’ electric vehicles (EVs) to support their goal of providing sustainable, safe, and cost-effective mobility. The collaboration encompasses major supply and capacity agreements that will underpin the development of a next-generation power architecture. This innovative architecture will leverage Infineon’s PROFETTM smart power switches to replace traditional fuses, streamline wiring, and introduce intelligent power management within the vehicle. Additionally, the use of silicon carbide (SiC) semiconductors will help standardize power modules, enhance the performance and efficiency of EVs, and reduce production costs. Infineon’s AURIXTM microcontrollers are also slated to support Stellantis’ STLA Brain zonal architecture, signaling a significant step toward scalable and intelligent power management in future software-defined vehicles.
Further bolstering their cooperation, Stellantis and Infineon are set to establish a Joint Power Lab aimed at defining advanced, scalable power architectures. This move aligns with Stellantis’ Dare Forward 2030 strategic plan, which emphasizes the importance of securing semiconductor solutions critical to EV innovation. Infineon’s position as a leading automotive semiconductor provider, coupled with its expertise in system integration, ensures that their technology will contribute to greater vehicle energy efficiency and an improved driver experience. With strategic manufacturing capabilities such as the world’s most cost-efficient SiC facility in Malaysia and the upcoming “Smart Power Fab” in Dresden, Germany, Infineon is well-positioned to meet the growing demand for automotive semiconductor solutions. The partnership marks a significant stride in the electrification and digitalization of mobility, paving the way for a new era of efficient, software-driven vehicle systems.
