Cissoid, a semiconductor solutions company, and Edag Group, an independent engineering services provider for the automotive industry, have announced a strategic partnership to accelerate the development of next-generation silicon carbide (SiC) traction inverters for electric mobility applications.
The companies aim to bring together Cissoid’s expertise in SiC power semiconductor modules and control solutions with Edag’s engineering in the design, integration and validation of electric powertrains. They plan to provide e-mobility OEMs and equipment suppliers with technical support and complete solutions for the efficient, reliable and functionally safe development of SiC-based traction inverters. This will include engineering services covering inverter system design, thermal management, mechanical integration, functional safety and EMC compliance, as well as end-to-end technical support, from concept design to prototyping and vehicle integration.
Pierre Delatte, CTO of Cissoid, stated, “This partnership with Edag enables us to jointly address the growing demand for high-performance, SiC-based traction inverters. Together, we will help manufacturers harness the full potential of silicon carbide technology, making electric vehicles more efficient, compact and reliable.”
Lennart Benthele, head of drivetrain and thermal development at Edag, added, “At Edag, we are committed to shaping the future of sustainable mobility. By partnering with Cissoid, we expand our capabilities in power electronics, offering our customers integrated solutions for the next generation of electric drivetrains.”
