Infineon teamed up with China Electric Vehicles 100 to help China's electric vehicle industry sustainable development

Beijing, January 23, 2016 – This morning, the two-day China Electric Vehicle Hundred People's Association (EV 100) Annual Forum (2016) kicked off at the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse in Beijing. Since Infineon officially joined the China Electric Vehicles 100-member International Expert Advisory Committee last year, Infineon Technologies and related government departments, upstream and downstream of the automotive industry chain, universities and research institutions have actively explored the development of electric vehicles in China. The new ecology will help the sustainable development of China's electric vehicle industry.

During the forum, the “Chongchuang Future” Maker Competition hosted by EV 100 also entered the finals. As the only technical company focusing on electronic systems and components in the industry, Infineon supports the competition and provides the most advanced automotive electronics technology for the electric vehicle industry in China. Ms. Xu Hui, Senior Director of Infineon Technologies (China) Co., Ltd. and Head of Automotive Electronics Business in China, was also invited to be the mentor of the “Chuangchuang Future” Maker Competition, with Chen Qingquan, Academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, and Wang Chuanfu, Chairman of BYD Co., Ltd. 17 industry experts such as Chen Yudong, President of Bosch (China) Investment Co., Ltd., together selected outstanding innovation projects.

The theme of this year's forum is to build a competitive, innovative and sustainable industrial ecosystem. For cars to be innovative, they must rely on the "core." Semiconductors play an extremely important role in the automotive field. For electric vehicles, semiconductors are the core components to ensure efficient power operation. As the world's leading automotive electronics semiconductor company, Infineon is committed to providing a more comprehensive semiconductor device for the development of electric vehicles, achieving a green-driven one-stop solution. In March last year, when Chinese Vice Premier Ma Kai visited Germany, he made a special trip to the headquarters of Infineon in Munich to conduct in-depth communication with Infineon on the strategic cooperation between the two countries in the fields of electric vehicles and intelligent manufacturing. During the visit, Deputy Prime Minister Ma Kai paid particular attention to Infineon's IGBT technology and gave high hopes. Infineon's latest innovative 400V IGBT chip is only 40 microns thick, less than half the thickness of a piece of paper, and requires extremely high manufacturing technology.

With the boom of Chinese companies “going out” in recent years, China’s foreign investment is increasing. In cooperation with Chinese customers, Infineon not only helps customers grow up in the local area, but also actively uses their resources in other countries and regions to cooperate with foreign local customers in the research and development of electric vehicles to help them grow into A multinational company with global influence. Ms. Xu Hui said: "I am full of confidence in the development of China's electric vehicles. China has become the world's largest producer and seller of new energy vehicles. I am convinced that with the strong support and drive of the Chinese government, electric vehicles will soon flourish in China. Development. Infineon hopes to use its own advantages to help Chinese companies achieve leapfrog development."
