Ideal Power (IPWR) is partnering with Stellantis\u2019 (STLA) advanced technology development team to develop a custom B-TRAN power module for use in electric vehicle (\u201cEV\u201d) drivetrain inverters in Stellantis\u2019 next-generation EV platform.
Innovating ahead of schedule, Phase II heralds the fruition of B-TRAN modules for Stellantis, paving the path for Phase III and the 2025 production milestone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The announcement surfaced today regarding the successful culmination of Phase II deliverables under a collaborative product development pact with Stellantis NV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Teaming up with Stellantis\u2019 avant-garde technology division, Ideal Power is crafting a bespoke B-TRAN power unit tailored for integration into the drivetrain inverters of Stellantis\u2019 forthcoming EV platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With its array of advantages, B-TRAN finds itself under scrutiny for potential incorporation into the automaker’s vehicle power management system and electric vehicle charging infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All Phase I obligations were met, encompassing a wafer production cycle and dispatch of packaged and tested B-TRAN components and evaluation platforms to Stellantis and its packaging associate. Technical assistance, along with comprehensive performance analysis and test results, was also furnished by Ideal Power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Phase II obligations concluded expediently, encompassing a wafer fabrication cycle and delivery of tested B-TRAN components and drivers to both the packaging partner and the entity responsible for crafting the inaugural drivetrain inverter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The impending Phase III endeavors entail the completion and transfer of all Phase I and II obligations to Stellantis\u2019 production unit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ideal Power and Stellantis are presently outlining the framework for the subsequent phase, anticipated to encompass rigorous testing of the bespoke B-TRAN module to ensure compliance with automotive certification benchmarks, positioning it as the cornerstone of the powertrain inverter for Stellantis\u2019 forthcoming EV lineup, with a target of readiness by 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dan Brdar, CEO of Ideal Power, remarked, \u201cOur achievements with Stellantis serve as a springboard to engage other automotive OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
