H55 has delivered the first batch of its Adagio battery modules to Smartflyer, to be integrated into the SFX1 hybrid-electric aircraft currently in its Proof of Concept Demonstrator phase. The delivery moves the SFX1 program from component-level validation into full system integration and testing. The Adagio modules have completed all regulator-required certification tests. Integration work… Read more »
Vishay Intertechnology has introduced 16 FRED Pt ultrafast rectifiers in a new DFN6546A package, covering 200 V ratings and continuous current from 6 A to 15 A in single configurations and 2×3 A to 2×7.5 A in dual configurations. All 16 are available in both commercial and AEC-Q101 automotive-grade versions. The DFN6546A measures 6.5×4.6 mm… Read more »
As Europe’s electrification strategy entering a more complex and fast-evolving phase, the upcoming AABC Europe 2026 offers a pivotal moment for the automotive and energy storage sectors to come together. Taking place in historic Mainz, the event will bring together more than 1,000 battery technologists, OEMs, and supply chain leaders to explore the technologies and… Read more »
Turntide Technologies has expanded its axial flux motor lineup with two new models. The AF300 delivers more than 192 Nm of continuous torque; the AF400 delivers up to 290 Nm. Both are available in single- and double-stacked configurations, giving OEMs a range of performance options in the same compact axial flux form factor. The previously… Read more »
Sponsored by Pickering Interfaces. EV platforms live at the intersection of high voltage, high power and strict safety requirements. From battery packs and traction inverters to DC fast chargers and cable harnesses, engineers must prove that insulation is sound during development and at end-of-line. That is the role of high-potential testing. In a withstand test… Read more »
Axens’ MACARON project, a planned cathode active materials (CAM) plant for EV batteries in Saint-Saulve, Northern France, has cleared three policy milestones in quick succession. The Élysée has designated it one of France’s 150 “major strategic projects,” the French State has awarded it a Net Zero label and it has received approval for a 25%… Read more »
UK Energy Secretary Ed Miliband has revealed a package of new measures to accelerate the UK’s clean energy transition. The measures include steps to encourage deployment of solar energy and heat pumps, as well as “streamlining outdated rules to unblock the grid and speed up [deployment of] clean, homegrown power…cutting delays for essential grid upgrades.”… Read more »
ROHM has developed its 5th Generation SiC MOSFETs under the EcoSiC brand, delivering approximately 30% lower ON resistance during high-temperature operation compared to its 4th Generation devices. The comparison is at Tj=175°C with equivalent breakdown voltage and chip size—meaning the reduction comes from structural enhancements and manufacturing process optimization, not geometry scaling. Lower on-resistance at… Read more »
IONCHI, the premium high-power charging joint venture established by BMW and Mercedes-Benz in China in 2024, has announced that SERES Group will join as an equal shareholder. Through the investment, SERES’ premium brand AITO becomes part of the three-party network, giving BMW, Mercedes-Benz and SERES each a 33.3% stake. The transaction is subject to regulatory… Read more »
Samsung Electro-Mechanics is mass-producing a new set of ultra-high-voltage multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) rated from 1000 V to 1500 V, extending its C0G and X8G temperature-stable series to cover 800 V EV inverter systems and next-generation onboard chargers. All four devices share a 1210 package (3.2×2.5 mm) and hold capacitance within 0±30 ppm/°C across the… Read more »
