Infineon will supply new generation IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors) modules, which are designed to meet the application requirements in advanced trains and metro rail systems.
IGBT modules are known as power semiconductors and are used in high-voltage operation between several hundreds to thousands of volts.
The two companies also plan to develop drive electronics for trains to optimise energy efficiency and reliability.
