Elaphe is driving breakthrough innovation in microelectronics for electric vehicles with European co-financing.<\/p>\n

Elaphe, a leading Slovenian company in electric vehicle innovation, is part of the ambitious European IPCEI ME\/CT project (Important Project of Common European Interest in Microelectronics and Communication Technologies), co-financed by the European Union together with Member States. The project focuses on accelerating the development of advanced technologies in microelectronics and communications for Europe\u2019s digital and green transformation.<\/p>\n

Elaphe\u2019s Objectives Within the MEEV Project<\/h2>\n

Within the Microelectronics for Electric Vehicles (MEEV) project, Elaphe is developing solutions that will contribute to major technological breakthroughs in power electronics and energy converters for electric vehicles.<\/p>\n

Subproject (1): Power Electronics (SiC\/GaN)<\/h2>\n

Dedicated to the development of power electronics for controlling traction electric motors.<\/p>\n

The development is based on a new generation of semiconductor transistors (SiC\/GaN), which enable thermal losses to be reduced by half, operation at higher temperatures, and up to a 20% reduction in electronics volume.<\/p>\n

The key result will be a prototype power electronics unit that increases the efficiency of propulsion systems and contributes to longer electric vehicle range or smaller batteries.<\/p>\n
