Vitesco Technologies has secured strategically important capacities in energy-efficient silicon carbide power semiconductors through a long-term supply partnership with ROHM – worth over $1 billion until 2030.
The development partnership with the manufacturer ROHM, which began in 2020, created the basis for the supply partnership now signed in Regensburg. Vitesco Technologies’ advanced inverters with integrated ROHM SiC chips will be adopted by two customers to be applied inside electric vehicle powertrains.
Andreas Wolf, CEO, Vitesco Technologies, said, “The supply partnership agreement with ROHM is an important building block for securing Vitesco Technologies' SiC capacities in the years ahead,' said, at the signing ceremony in Regensburg.”
Dr Kazuhide Ino, Member of the Board, Managing Executive Officer and CFO, ROHM, added, “In the high-growth automotive market, SiC is a pathfinder for higher efficiency. With an expected higher market share of more than 30%, we are strongly positioned here and have gained a strategic partner in Vitesco Technologies for further market penetration.”
