onsemi & FORVIA HELLA double down on next-gen power MOSFET Tech for future vehicles

News, 5 January 2025

Semiconductor leader onsemi and global automotive supplier FORVIA HELLA are taking their long-standing partnership to a new level with a fresh, long-term agreement to bring cutting-edge power MOSFET technology into advanced automotive systems.

At the heart of this expanded collaboration is onsemi’s PowerTrench® T10 power MOSFETs semiconductor devices that act like high-performance electrical switches in power-intensive vehicle systems. These next-gen MOSFETs are designed for ultra-low conduction and switching losses, higher power density, and reduced system costs all while staying compact and reliable for automotive environments.

Manufactured at onsemi’s state-of-the-art facility in East Fishkill, New York, the T10 family brings meaningful efficiency gains to power electronics a key requirement as vehicles grow more electrified and software-driven. FORVIA HELLA plans to adopt this tech across a range of platforms, from electric drive systems to advanced safety and automated driving modules.

Executives from both companies highlighted the strategic nature of this deal. FORVIA HELLA’s leadership described the MOSFET integration as a critical enabler for future automotive platforms, while onsemi noted how the extension underlines more than 25 years of joint innovation between the two partners.

This collaboration is more than a parts supply agreement it’s a strategic move into tomorrow’s vehicles. As electrification trends accelerate and automotive systems demand ever-greater power efficiency and integration density, partnerships like this help bridge semiconductor advancements and real-world automotive engineering.

Whether it’s EV drive inverters or next-generation safety electronics, these upgraded MOSFETs will play a central role in shaping more efficient, reliable vehicles in the years ahead.
