Regensburg, München, October 17, 2023. Vitesco Technologies, a leading international manufacturer of modern drive technologies and electrification solutions, and Infineon Technologies AG, worldwide leading vendor of automotive semiconductors, are strengthening their long-time partnership. Vitesco Technologies will use the AURIX™ TC4x microcontroller family from Infineon in its next generation of master and zone controllers for electric-electronic vehicle architectures (E/E architectures) as well as in its new electrification system solutions. The multi-year agreement takes effect starting in 2027. The order volume is planned to reach more than one billion euros. The companies intend to work together to further improve the efficiency and system costs of future electrified vehicles while taking functional safety and cybersecurity in compliance with ISO 26262 and ISO/SAE 21434 into account. The intensified partnership guarantees Vitesco Technologies a long-term supply of important components for the transformation of the automotive industry to electromobility. At the same time the company will benefit from the broad high-performance product portfolio of the microcontroller family AURIX, from Infineon's system expertise and from the company's investments in manufacturing capacities for increased supply reliability.

Microcontrollers are key components in the automotive industry, controlling and monitoring a wide variety of systems in the automobile such as electric powertrain, E/E architecture, ADAS, radar and chassis. The AURIX TC4x microcontrollers from Infineon combine power and performance enhancements with the latest trends in the fields of virtualization, AI-based modeling, functional safety, cybersecurity and network functions and pave the way for new E/E architectures as well as the next generation of software-defined vehicles.
