Wolfspeed, Inc. announced the company will be supplying Silicon Carbide devices to power future Mercedes-Benz® Electric Vehicle (EV) platforms, enabling greater efficiency in the powertrain. Wolfspeed's semiconductors will be incorporated into next generation powertrain systems for several Mercedes-Benz vehicle lines. As a leader in luxury vehicles, Mercedes-Benz understands the need for superior performance.

By leveraging Wolfspeed's expertise and Silicon Carbide devices to improve vehicle range and power, Mercedes-Benz plans to have some of the most efficient EVs on the road. The Silicon Carbide power devices for Mercedes-Benz will be produced at Wolfspeed's facilities in Durham, North Carolina and its new 200mm Mohawk Valley Fab in Marcy, New York. This Mohawk Valley Fab is the world's largest Silicon Carbide fabrication facility and is dramatically expanding Wolfspeed's production capacity.

Earlier this year Wolfspeed also announced it was beginning construction on a new Silicon Carbide materials facility in North Carolina, which will expand its Silicon Carbide capacity by more than 10x.
