Agreement between onsemi and VW Group for SiC technology for new generation electric vehicles

Posted on January 25, 2023

the beginning And Volkswagen AG (VW) have signed a strategic agreement for distribution of form which will allow you to create a complete solution for traction inverter of electric vehicles (EV). Under this agreement, it will initially supply its 1200 V inverter modules EliteSiC.

“The highest performance and quality standards of onyomi converter modules,” he said Karsten Schnake, responsible for VW’s COMPASS task force, designed to develop strategic and operational guidelines for semiconductor sourcing – together with the joint effort to achieve the best possible system-level solution, will allow us to ensure the driving experience and quality that customers have come to expect from for VW Group Car. Onsemi’s broad portfolio of intelligent sensing and power solutions also enables the integration of cutting-edge technologies and features in our electric vehicles, starting with the alternator.

“A large manufacturing base, which includes a complete supply chain and silicon carbide tolerances,” he said Simon Keeton, executive vice president and general manager of onsemi’s Power Solutions Group – allows us to ensure the continuity of supply that is important to OEMs. Investments made to increase our production to a global level, especially of silicon carbide materials, will allow us to adequately support the rapid increase in production of VW electric vehicles”.
