Infineon Technologies AG and HL Klemove aim to strengthen their strategic collaboration in automotive technologies. Their partnership aims to combine Infineon’s semiconductor expertise and system understanding with HL Klemove’s capabilities in advanced autonomous driving systems to accelerate innovation in vehicle electronic architecture for the Software-Defined Vehicle (SDV) era and advance autonomous driving technologies.
This collaboration reflects the shared commitment of both companies to delivering safe and efficient connected mobility solutions. By optimising resources and accelerating proof of concept development, the partners aim to bring innovative technologies to market faster. Together, they plan to build the foundation for future key projects with high-performance, highly reliable autonomous driving solutions that combine Infineon’s semiconductor expertise and HL Klemove’s system integration capabilities.
Under the MoU, the two companies will cooperate in key areas, including:
- Next-generation Zonal Control Units: The companies will jointly develop zone controller applications using Infineon’s microcontrollers and power semiconductors. HL Klemove will lead application development, while Infineon provides semiconductor technology support. Through prototype development, the collaboration aims to strengthen competitiveness in SDV electronic architecture.
- Next-generation Radar Technologies: HL Klemove will leverage Infineon’s radar semiconductor solutions to develop high-resolution and short-range satellite radar, preparing for commercialisation through proof of concept. Additionally, the companies will work on high-resolution imaging radar to achieve next-generation radar technologies capable of precise object recognition.
- Vehicle Ethernet-based ADAS and Camera Solutions: The partners will cooperate on developing front camera modules and an ADAS parking control unit using Infineon’s Ethernet technology. HL Klemove will handle system and product development, while Infineon provides Ethernet semiconductor and networking technology to enable high-speed, highly reliable in-vehicle network solutions.
“Based on our holistic product portfolio, deep system understanding and application know-how, Infineon aims to empower the automotive industry to accelerate time-to-market of software-defined vehicles,” said Peter Schaefer, Executive Vice President and CSO Automotive of Infineon. “Our collaboration with HL Klemove combines Infineon’s technology leadership with HL Klemove’s system expertise to deliver safer and smarter mobility solutions.”
Yoon-Haeng Lee, CEO of HL Klemove, said, “This collaboration marks an important milestone in realising the next-generation electronic architecture required for the software-defined vehicle era. By combining HL Klemove’s system architecture and integration capabilities with Infineon’s semiconductor technology, we will accelerate innovation in key areas such as next-generation zonal controllers, vehicle Ethernet-based ADAS systems, and high-resolution radar.”
