Smart driving and environmental protection, the dual strategy of the ideal car

     In the context of its continued growth, Ideal Car has launched a number of luxury new energy vehicles with family needs at its core, and has worked closely with ST to enhance the range and driving experience with 800V SiC technology. The company is committed to designing low-carbon vehicles, driving innovation in smart cars, and striving to create a higher "happiness" for customers. Through the mode of direct cooperation, the ideal car continuously improves itself in the complex market environment and actively faces the challenges of the future.

     Ideal Automobile is a luxury new energy vehicle manufacturer with strong momentum, and its business growth rate in 2023 reached 182.2%. As the peak of China's automotive industry, the company has always adhered to the product concept of putting family needs first, and has launched a variety of petrol-electric hybrid vehicles and pure electric vehicles.

     From the moment it entered the automotive industry, Ideal Automotive has relied on Italia Semiconductor as a trusted partner, leveraging the latter's increasingly compact power chips and smart technology to create an outstanding cockpit and driving experience. In order to maximize the driving range, Ideal Car is the first in China to use 800V SiC technology; The technology can reduce energy consumption by 12% while providing enough power for subsequent electric SUV products.

     ST offers a wide range of semiconductor solutions for the new energy automotive industry, including the use of high-voltage SiC power devices to improve efficiency and performance, as well as complete MCUS, AD8400ARZ10-REEL power controllers, MOSFETs, area control module products, and more. Thus promoting the carburizing process of luxury cars, greatly improving the comfort of home customers, so that the place where the wheels are located is as comfortable as home.

     At present, the purpose of ideal car is to design low-carbon vehicles, let luxury SUVs and MPVS enter every household, make intelligent driving comfortable and convenient, and extend vehicle mileage.

     In close cooperation with Italian Semiconductor in the fields of inverter products and increased driving range, Ideal Automobile successfully realized the concept of "mobile home". The Chinese automaker not only focuses on the environmental protection and mobility characteristics of its products, but also takes the lead in breaking the stereotype of traditional high-end cars and putting the needs of families first. In order to improve the comfort and convenience during the use of cars, and thus improve the "happiness" of family customers, the company has launched a dual development strategy centered on "electric energy" and "intelligence". In order to achieve this goal, the ideal car puts the intelligent cockpit and autonomous driving in a very important strategy including the MCU, power controller, MOSFETs and their area control module products) play a crucial role.

     Ideal car selected advanced 3rd generation ST 1200V SiC IC driver MOSFET and isolation gate; The traction inverter for the 800V all-electric vehicle (BEV) platform delivers plenty of power while ensuring industry-leading process stability, performance, efficiency and reliability.

     This model of working directly with integrated device manufacturers is new to the automotive industry and can effectively help the engineers of the ideal car select the chip that is best suited for a particular application. In order to ensure the compatibility of optional parts, as the delivery of ideal automotive products continues to increase, the need to customize and gradually improve the product model will also increase. In this case, the advantages of direct cooperation will be more obvious.

     Shen Qun, procurement director of Ideal Automotive Supply Chain, said, "Software now controls the core of the vehicle, and the software has to be carried by semiconductor chips. We have not only accelerated the process of software innovation, but also amplified our ability to deliver value to our users, actively partnering with Semiconductor Italia."

     Shen Qun stressed that the entire automotive industry is rapidly promoting the transformation process of innovative new energy vehicles, and Ideal Automotive will continue to work with Italy Semiconductor to put more disruptive creativity into action. This direct collaboration facilitates new and unique challenges and plays a huge role in turning vehicles into "mobile homes", greatly improving customer "happiness".
