Infineon Technologies and Visteon Join Forces to Enhance EV Powertrain Efficiency with Cutting-Edge Semiconductor Technology

(IN BRIEF) Infineon Technologies and Visteon Corporation have entered a strategic partnership to develop next-generation electric vehicle powertrains by integrating Infineon’s wideband gap semiconductor technologies. This collaboration will enhance power conversion efficiency and contribute to the transition to a more sustainable mobility ecosystem.

(PRESS RELEASE) MUNICH, 9-May-2025 — /EuropaWire/ — Infineon Technologies AG (FSE: IFX / OTCQX: IFNNY), a global leader in automotive semiconductors, and Visteon Corporation (NASDAQ: VC), a pioneering innovator in automotive cockpit electronics, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to jointly advance the development of next-generation electric vehicle (EV) powertrains.

The collaboration will focus on integrating Infineon’s state-of-the-art power conversion devices into Visteon’s EV powertrain applications. A primary focus will be on wideband gap device technologies, such as CoolGaN™ (Gallium Nitride) and CoolSiC™ (Silicon Carbide) semiconductors. These advanced materials offer significant advantages over traditional silicon-based devices, including higher power density, better thermal performance, and increased energy efficiency. These benefits will ultimately lead to enhanced power conversion, reduced system costs, and improved overall performance for next-generation EV systems.

Future applications for Visteon’s EV powertrain systems may include battery junction boxes, DC-DC converters, and on-board chargers, all incorporating Infineon’s innovative wideband gap technologies. These systems will be designed to meet the highest standards of efficiency, reliability, and robustness in electric vehicle powertrains.

Dr. Tao Wang, Head of the Electrification Product Line at Visteon, commented: “Collaborating with Infineon enables us to integrate cutting-edge semiconductor technologies that are critical for improving power conversion efficiency and the overall performance of the next generation of electric vehicles. This partnership is another step towards accelerating the transition to a more sustainable and efficient mobility ecosystem.”

Peter Schaefer, Chief Sales Officer Automotive at Infineon Technologies, added: “Visteon is a recognized leader in innovation and an early adopter of emerging technologies, making them the perfect partner for Infineon. Together, we will continue to push the boundaries of electric vehicle technology and deliver superior solutions for the global automotive industry.”
