Power management company Eaton announced today it has chosen
global technology company KPIT to support the development of
next-generation electrified mobility technologies for its eMobility
business unit.
Eaton’s collaboration with KPIT initially will focus on
developing and deploying technologies, software solutions and
platforms for several components, including inverters, on-board
chargers, DC-DC converters and power distribution modules.
“Eaton continues to build competencies to solve complex problems
in eMobility, which OEMs consider critical and transformative,”
said Jeff Lowinger, president, eMobility, Eaton. “KPIT is our
extended team in this approach, with its sharp focus on mobility
and years of experience in electric powertrain technologies. Our
strategic alliance with KPIT brings valuable capabilities and
technologies to enable manufacturers to develop vehicles that are
cleaner and safer and deliver value.”
“The strategic alliance with Eaton resonates with KPIT's vision
of reimagining mobility with its customers, partners and people. We
value our relationship with Eaton as strategic and count them as
one of our top customers,” said Kishor Patil, CEO, KPIT. “With our
complementary strengths in the automotive domain and
electrification technologies, we are geared to address some of the

vehicles and pave the way for Eaton to leapfrog the competition in
the electric mobility space.”
In March 2018, Eaton announced the formation of its eMobility
business unit for electrified vehicles. The eMobility business
focuses on three primary areas for both automotive and commercial
vehicle customers: intelligent power electronics, power systems,
and advanced power distribution and circuit protection. The
eMobility business is poised to capitalize on a global vehicle
electrification market projected to grow to 15 million pure
battery-electric vehicles by 2030.
