CISSOID and EDAG partner to accelerate development of silicon carbide traction inverters
High-reliability power semiconductor solutions provider CISSOID of Mont-Saint-Guibert, Belgium and EDAG Group of Wiesbaden, Germany (an independent engineering services provider for the mobility industry) have announced a strategic partnership to accelerate the development of next-generation silicon carbide (SiC) traction inverters for electric mobility applications.
The collaboration brings together CISSOID’s expertise in SiC power semiconductor modules and control solutions with EDAG’s engineering know-how in the design, integration and validation of electric powertrains. By combining their complementary strengths, the two firms aim to offer e-mobility OEMs and equipment suppliers unmatched technical support and complete solutions for the efficient, reliable and functionally safe development of SiC-based traction inverters.
Benefits of the partnership are cited as:
- joint development and integration of SiC inverter platforms optimized for high efficiency, high power density, and extended operating life;
- comprehensive engineering services spanning inverter system design, thermal management, mechanical integration, functional safety and EMC compliance;
- accelerated time-to-market through access to ready-to-implement, proven hardware and software solutions;
- end-to-end technical support, from concept design to prototyping and vehicle integration.
“This partnership with EDAG enables us to jointly address the growing demand for high-performance, SiC-based traction inverters,” says CISSOID’s chief technology officer Pierre Delatte. “Together, we will help manufacturers harness the full potential of silicon carbide technology, making electric vehicles more efficient, compact, and reliable,” he adds.
“By partnering with CISSOID, we expand our capabilities in power electronics, offering our customers integrated solutions for the next generation of electric drivetrains,” says Lennart Benthele, head of Drivetrain & Thermal Development at EDAG.
The collaboration is described as a significant step forward in supporting the fast-evolving electric mobility market, where high-efficiency, compact and robust inverter solutions are crucial to unlocking the full performance potential of modern EVs.
