SiC power components can utilize the electrical energy of EV batteries more efficiently than conventional components. Vitesco anticipates a significant increase in demand for SiC solutions and plans to begin production of inverters equipped with SiC power components by 2025.

Vitesco is already applying and testing SiC technology in an 800V type inverter under development.

Through this partnership, the two companies will collaborate on improving inverters equipped with SiC power components for mass production and building systems that achieve maximum inverter efficiency.

“We will collaborate with ROHM not only on 800V batteries, but also on SiC-based inverter solutions for 400V batteries,” said Dr. Gerd Rösel of Vitesco’s Electrotechnology business unit.
