Automotive
Infineon is one of the two market leaders in the automotive electronics market. Our sustained success in automotive electronics is attributed to a consistent focus on automotive applications and their requirements, a profound understanding of the automotive system based on 40 years of experience and a broad innovative product portfolio of outstanding quality.

Infineon serves automotive applications such as the car’s powertrain (comprising engine and transmission control for optimized fuel consumption and to meet government emission regulations addressing chips for emerging technologies, such as hybrids, starter alternators, and electromechanical valve-trains), body and convenience (including light control; heating, ventilation and air-conditioning HVAC; comfort locking; power windows; seat memory and keyless entry), safety management (e.g. electronic power steering, collision avoidance, anti-lock brake system, airbag, stability control, tire pressure monitoring) and infotainment (including e-call, information access, wireless communication and global positioning).

The Automotive Division supplies the automotive industry with sensors, microcontrollers and power semiconductors that contribute to a more sustainable mobility in terms of reduced fuel consumption/emissions, improved safety and affordability.
