Siemens enhances the electric and electronic power advantages of electric vehicles

Siemens and SEMIKRON Group Co., Ltd. reached a cooperation agreement

Siemens took over the VePOINT car from Semikron

Expand the range of innovative technologies for electric vehicle inverters

Siemens Industry Sector Drive Technology Group and the German Semikron Group Co., Ltd. signed a cooperation agreement to strengthen future cooperation in electric vehicle power electronics technology. Power electronics technology is an important technology needed to develop electric vehicles, it is through the power electronic devices to transform and control the electrical energy. Siemens will take over VePOINT, a wholly-owned subsidiary of SEMIKRON, which owns 30 excellent employees in Nuremberg, Germany.

Based on SEMIKRON's SKiN technology, VePOINT has developed innovative power electronics and systems specifically for the HEV and EV markets. These solutions can further refine Siemens product lines by adding attractive power density and power / weight ratio systems to automotive applications. Through the acquisition of VePOINT and the introduction of its power electronics products, Siemens Industry Drives Technologies will further promote the development of its electric vehicle division. In addition, through the signing of the cooperation agreement, Siemens and Semikron will also continue the close cooperation between the two companies in the new power module field.

J? Rg Grotendorst, Chief Executive Officer of Siemens EV, said: "The establishment of a partnership with Semikron and the acquisition of VePOINT are important milestones in Siemens' higher-level integration of the entire powertrain." Electric Vehicle Electricity The introduction of electronic technology products will also help to further expand the product range of Siemens original motors, inverters, speed sensors and transmissions. "

By applying SEMIKRON's SKiN technology, VePOINT has developed its own inverter platform. The platform's compact design and large power density make it possible to modularize inverters and DC / DC converters for higher power / weight ratio and higher reliability thanks to SKiN technology application. SKiN technology to abandon the traditional welding joints and wire welding process.
