Andreas Wolf, CEO of Vitesco Technologies, has become one of the first representatives of the automotive supplier industry to sign the CEO Water Mandate. Under the umbrella of the United Nations Global Compact, the initiative is supported by business leaders from around the world and aims to develop sustainable solutions to the emerging global water crisis.

Renault Group and Vitesco Technologies, a leading international manufacturer of modern drive technologies and electrification solutions, today announced the signing of a strategic partnership for the joint development and the production of power electronics in a so-called “One Box” for electric and hybrid powertrains.

Vitesco Technologies uses state-of-the-art green lasers from TRUMPF for energy-saving welding of copper. Due to electrification in the drive, copper welding is currently a key manufacturing process. Green laser systems are energy-efficient and also reduce manufacturing effort. Copper welding with green lasers is already being used in a current electronics series project for the BMW group.

With the aim of optimizing the ecological footprint of its products and, in the long term, designing them to be CO2-neutral throughout their entire life cycle, Vitesco Technologies, a leading supplier of advanced drive technologies and electrification solutions, is intensively looking into the so-called Life Cycle Engineering (LCE).

Vitesco Technologies develops a control unit for fuel cell applications and thus makes an important contribution to the climate-neutral and sustainable transportation of the future. The Fuel Cell Control Unit (FCCU) is the central control unit of a fuel cell system, which is expected to be used in various on and off-highway applications from the second half of this decade onward.

In the course of its spin-off from Continental, Vitesco Technologies, a leading international provider of modern drive technologies and electrification solutions, has become an independent member of the RE100 alliance.
