Infineon and Stellantis Partner to Innovate Next-Gen Vehicle Power Systems

The partnership focuses on enhancing power efficiency, vehicle range, and driver experience, with agreements for PROFET switches and CoolSiC semiconductors.

Munich, Germany- Stellantis N.V., and Infineon Technologies AG., have announced a partnership to advance the power architecture for Stellantis’ electric vehicles, supporting its goal of providing clean, safe, and affordable mobility. The collaboration includes major supply and capacity agreements to develop next-gen power systems for EVs.

Infineon’s PROFET smart power switches will replace fuses, reduce wiring, and enable Stellantis to lead in intelligent power network management. Silicon carbide (SiC) semiconductors will help standardize power modules, boosting EV performance and efficiency while cutting costs. AURIX microcontrollers will support the first generation of Stellantis' 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.

Mr. Maxime Picat, Stellantis Chief Purchasing and Supplier Quality Officer, said, “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.”

Mr. Peter Schiefer, President of Infineon’s Automotive Division, said, “Infineon is now entering a collaboration and innovation partnership with Stellantis. 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.”

With its cost-competitive SiC fab in Kulim, Malaysia, the upcoming "Smart Power Fab" in Dresden, Germany, and a joint venture with TSMC and partners, Infineon is well-positioned to meet the growing demand for automotive semiconductor solutions. According to TechInsights, Infineon leads the global automotive microcontroller market with a 29% share.
