We make cars clean, safe and smart.
Infineon Technologies is a leading player and pioneer in
automotive electronics. Our enduring success in this field
Reducing road fatalities
is due to a clear strategic focus on automotive applications
and standards, along with the understanding and insights
that have emerged from over ꢀꢁ years of dedicated expe
rience and our ability to continually innovate this market
with a broad portfolio of outstanding quality. Our sensors,
microcontrollers and power semiconductors help automo
tive manufacturers achieve their increasingly challenging
safety, affordability and efficiency targets. Above all, we
are helping to create more sustainable mobility choices by
lowering emissions and fuel consumption.
New Car Assessment Programs (NCAP) and governments
all over the world have set ambitious road fatality reduction
targets. The automotive industry actively contributes to
road safety by developing and evolving technologies that
reduce the likelihood or impact of accidents, for example by
improving of reactive airbag and stability control systems.
Similarly, new active safety features include adaptive cruise
control and lane departure warning, where the vehicle acts
proactively before a crash occurs.
Infineon is continuously optimizing the chipsets that enable
the safety features designed to reduce the number of road
accidents. With the most rigorous Euro NCAP in mind, we
lead the field in many safety innovations for passive, active
and preventive safety systems, such as RADAR technologies.
Paving the way for more sustainable
mobility choices
In an increasingly mobile society, carbon dioxide emissions
are rising and fossil fuel reserves are dwindling. The auto
motive industry faces the challenge of powering today’s
mobile lifestyle while simultaneously reducing its carbon
footprint. Electronic components play a key role in increa
sing energy efficiency.
Complying with functional safety
requirements
The increasing number of electronic systems leads to ever
more considerations regarding the functional safety of vehi
cle systems. Infineon has adopted the ISO Standard ꢂꢃꢂꢃꢂ
for designing the appropriate products but also for setting
The demand for alternative, more energyefficient forms
of mobility is increasingly geared toward electromobility.
Drivetrain electrification, whether in hybrid electric vehicles up the appropriate processes for the development of such
or – ultimately – fully electric vehicles, has the advantages
of higher energy efficiency and zero tailpipe emissions.
As the world leader in automotive and advanced power
electronics, with over ten years of experience in electromo
bility, Infineon delivers a broad suite of bestinclass
microcontrollers, power semiconductors and sensors that
are helping to solve today’s electromobility challenges.
products.
Meeting increased data security
demands
As system complexity increases in cars, so too does the
volume of data to be processed and distributed. Auto
makers therefore need to ensure that information is pro
cessed securely and protected against external access and
manipulation (e.g. car tuning or counterfeit spare parts).
Furthermore, new payment methods, such as parking fees
or road tolls, require a secure flow of transaction data.
Infineon can draw on years of expertise in chip card and
identification systems to propel automotive data security to
the next level.
As we transition toward greater electromobility, Infineon
is also working with leading car manufacturers and system
suppliers to improve the energy efficiency of combustion
engines and the various subsystems in today’s vehicles. We
offer a range of dedicated products and solutions targeting
hotspots such as demanddriven accessories, energy
management and electric power distribution. These solu
tions embody Infineon’s commitment to the exceptional
quality and reliability that the world’s leading vehicle
manufacturers expect.
