BMW’s upcoming electric vehicle platform, known as the Neue Klasse, will feature ROHM’s silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFETs as a key component in its powertrain systems. These advanced semiconductor devices are expected to improve energy efficiency and performance in electric drivetrains by reducing losses during power conversion. The integration highlights the growing adoption of SiC technology in high-end automotive applications, offering potential benefits in range and charging speed. This development underscores the collaboration between automotive manufacturers and semiconductor suppliers to push the boundaries of electric vehicle capabilities.
