Infineon Technologies' Vice President and Head of Automotive Electronics Division in Greater China, Yanfei Cao: Continuously committed to investment in electrification and digitization.

On March 26th, Cao Yanfei, Senior Vice President of Infineon Technologies Greater China and Head of the Automotive Electronics Division, was invited to attend and deliver a speech at the China Electric Vehicle Hundred People Forum.

  • In the past 20 years, Infineon’s annual compound growth rate of revenue has been much higher than the global semiconductor growth rate. In 2021, Infineon reached a production volume of over 3 million, which is approximately 3.6 million.

  • If the global sales of new energy vehicles in 2021 are estimated at around 6 million, one out of every two new energy vehicles using the main inverter will be equipped with Infineon’s system-level solution.

  • Layout in the field of silicon carbide (SiC): Infineon has reached long-term cooperation agreements with upstream raw material suppliers; production efficiency has been improved through the use of technologies such as cold cutting; continuous investment, with an investment of approximately 1.6 billion euros in the Villach factory and 2 billion euros in the Kulim factory in Malaysia last year.

  • Layout in the field of autonomous driving: Infineon’s MCU series has made rapid progress in powertrain, traditional safety and chassis, including ADAS, as well as in the rapidly developing domain controllers and autonomous driving fields.

  • Energy-saving and emission-reduction targets: By 2025, Infineon aims to reduce its emissions by around 70% compared to the 2019 fiscal year and achieve carbon neutrality by 2030.

Infineon stated that it will continue to focus on investments in electrification and digitalization, providing comprehensive system-level solutions based on various application scenarios to assist in emission reduction, production efficiency improvement, and cost reduction. With its microelectronics technology and automotive semiconductors, Infineon is committed to making cars more environmentally friendly, safe, and intelligent.
