Infineon Technologies has said that it will supply Rivian’s R2 platform with power modules for traction inverters. The R2 platform will use silicon carbide (SiC) and silicon (Si) modules from Infineon’s HybridPack Drive G2 family. Supply is expected to start in 2026. Additionally, Infineon will supply other products for the platform, including Aurix TC3x microcontrollers and Optireg power management ICs.
“We are committed to enhancing the performance and range of electric vehicles jointly with innovative automotive companies like Rivian,” said Stefan Obersriebnig, head of the product line for high-voltage modules in Infineon’s automotive division. “Our dedication to innovation and zero-defect quality has made us the preferred partner of the automotive industry. With our broad product portfolio, system expertise and manufacturing capabilities, we are a key enabler of emission-free, sustainable mobility.”
HybridPack Drive is Infineon’s power module family for electric vehicles.
Infineon is expanding its Kulim facility in Malaysia to establish a fabrication plant for 200mm silicon carbide (SiC) power semiconductors. The site will operate as part of the Infineon One Virtual Fab, which connects production processes and technologies across Kulim and Villach in Austria to support scalable and efficient manufacturing of wide-bandgap (WBG) semiconductors, including SiC and gallium nitride (GaN).
