The two companies have been collaborating on a variety of automotive applications since 2018, when they first agreed to conduct a technical exchange. This partnership is expected to further promote cooperation and accelerate innovation for automotive applications.
Geely is working to extend the cruising range of electric vehicles while simultaneously reducing battery costs and shortening charging times by developing high-efficiency traction inverters and onboard charging systems that utilize ROHM's advanced power solutions centered on SiC power devices. At the same time, Geely is committed to enhancing the user experience through the development of high-performance ADAS and smart cockpit systems using a wide range of products and solutions, including communication ICs and discrete devices.
As a first step, ROHM's SiC power devices-equipped traction inverters are being integrated into the electric vehicle platforms currently being developed by Geely.
Through this partnership, ROHM and Geely will contribute to sustainability by promoting the development of low-carbon technologies in the automotive industry and offering solutions to achieve greater safety in our increasingly mobile society.
