European Chipmakers Bet Big on China’s EV Boom
European automotive chipmakers are increasingly reliant on the booming Chinese electric vehicle (EV) market, according to recent industry data and executive statements. Leading European chip firms, including NXP and Infineon, generate a substantial portion of their revenue from China.
New N-Channel GaN FETs from Central Semiconductor
Astute Group have some new lines of N-Channel GaN FETs from Central Semiconductor. These cutting-edge devices leverage the numerous advantages of Gallium Nitride (GaN) technology to deliver superior performance in a wide range of power electronics applications such as wireless charging, power factor correction (PFC), electric vehicle inverters, and other high-efficiency power conversion systems.
EU Tariffs Spark a Global Chess Game in the Electric Vehicle Market
The European Union's (EU) recent imposition of provisional tariffs on Chinese-made electric vehicles (EVs) has set off a chain reaction in the global automotive industry. The tariffs, ranging from 17.4% to 37.6%, are aimed at protecting European manufacturers and fostering local EV production. However, they have also catalysed a strategic shift by Chinese automakers, who are now accelerating their expansion into overseas markets.
