Using their combined knowledge in power electronics management, Valeo and ROHM Semiconductor work together to propose and optimize the upcoming generation of power modules for electric motor inverters (xEV inverter). For future powertrain solutions, ROHM will first supply Valeo with its 2-in-1 Silicon Carbide (SiC) molded module TRCDRIVE pack.
From the smallest(ebikes) to the most popular (passenger vehicles) and largest (eTrucks), Valeo is expanding access to effective, electrified mobility across a range of vehicle types and markets.
Valeo advances the power electronics solution by fusing ROHM’s power modules with Valeo’s mechatronics, thermal management, and software development experience. This helps improve the performance, efficiency, and decarbonization of automotive systems globally.
Since 2022, Valeo and ROHM have been working together, first concentrating on technical discussions to enhance the functionality and efficiency of the motor inverter, a crucial part of plug-in hybrid (PHEV) and electric vehicle (EV) propulsion systems.
Both companies want to provide optimal cost/performance by improving power electronics through increased energy efficiency, decreased heat generation from improved cooling and mechatronic integration, and increased overall dependability through SiC packaging.
“This partnership marks, for Valeo Power Division, a significant step forward in delivering advanced and high-efficient power electronics,” says Xavier DUPONT, Valeo Power Division CEO. “Together, we aim to set new industry standards for high voltage inverters and accelerate the transition towards more efficient and affordable electric mobility.”
“We are pleased to support Valeo, a renowned automotive supplier, with our power semiconductors. ROHM’s TRCDRIVE pack™ provides high power density, leading to an improved power efficiency. Together, we contribute to the development of highly efficient powertrains by fostering collaboration with Valeo,” says Wolfram HARNACK, President, ROHM Semiconductor GmbH.
All of these advancements are necessary to meet the increasing demand for BEV and PHEV inverters that are high-performing and reasonably priced, as well as those that have faster charging speeds and a longer range.
Early in 2026, Valeo will begin providing a first series project. Valeo and ROHM will work together to reduce the size and increase the efficiency of Valeo’s upcoming xEV inverter generation.
