The two parties started technology communication in 2018 and have carried out cooperation on the development of many in-car applications. The newly-formed collaboration will contribute to the innovation of technologies for automotive industry.
Under the agreement, Geely will make use of ROHM's SiC (silicon carbide)-based power solutions to develop highly efficient electric control system and in-car charging system, aiming to extend the driving range of electric vehicles, lower the cost of battery development, and shorten EV charging time.
Moreover, the automaker attempts to develop high-performance ADAS (advanced driver assistance system) and intelligent cockpit system by leveraging ROHM's communications integrated circuits, discrete components, and other products and solutions.
According to the press release, ROHM's SiC-enabled electric drive system has been applied in the all-electric vehicle platform Geely is developing.
Through the fresh partnership, Geely and ROHM will make joint efforts to promote the development of the low-carbon technologies for automotive industry and the technologies for a safe mobility society.
