On the afternoon of May 18, Lifan Group and Infineon Technologies, a leading semiconductor manufacturer, held a joint press conference in Chongqing on the eve of the 14th China (Chongqing) International Investment and Global Sourcing Fair. The event announced the successful entry of the Infineon chip technology combined with Lifan's EFI Technology into the international market. Specifically, Lifan introduced its motorcycle EFI special chip, which is the smallest and most optimized in terms of integration. This milestone was further reinforced by the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to deepen their strategic cooperation.
Attendees included Wu Guang, Deputy Director of the Chongqing Economic and Information Technology Committee, Pan Xiandi, Board Member of Infineon Technologies Asia Pacific Co., Ltd., and Chairman of Infineon Technologies (China) Co., Ltd., as well as Yin Mingshan, Chairman of Lifan Industrial (Group) Co., Ltd. The collaboration between Lifan and Infineon began back in November 2009, when Lifan started using Infineon’s high-tech chips to enhance its motorcycle EFI application platform.
Lifan’s efforts focused on creating a practical minimum and optimal application plan for EFI systems. According to Zhou Xiangdong, General Manager of Lifan EFI, "We proposed the smallest and most optimized reference application for Infineon, which reduces ECU size while maximizing the integration of essential functions and even adding more comprehensive logic in OBD."
After nearly a year of development, Lifan launched a motorcycle EFI application platform based on Infineon’s specialized chip. This chip met Lifan’s technical requirements and was demonstrated globally, especially in the Asia-Pacific region and the Chinese market, where it received positive feedback. This marked the first time that Chinese EFI technology had been exported internationally.
Pan Xiandi, Chairman of Infineon Technologies (China) Co., Ltd., expressed his satisfaction with the collaboration, stating, "We are pleased with the timely and efficient cooperation. Lifan’s partnership is a great recognition of Infineon. We believe Lifan will become the leading manufacturer in domestic EFI technology through continuous innovation and improvement in core technologies, opening up broader international markets."
Infineon, known for addressing energy efficiency, mobility, and security challenges, provides semiconductor solutions for automotive and industrial electronics. Since entering the Chinese market, Infineon has collaborated closely with leading domestic manufacturers, leveraging its world-class expertise.
Lifan, as a leader in motorcycle EFI technology, has invested heavily in the development of EFI software and system technology since 1999. It successfully developed the "Lifan Motorcycle EFI Management System" with its own R&D, filling the gap in electronically controlled fuel injection for small and medium displacement engines and launching the only domestically produced EFI motorcycles with independent intellectual property rights.
This time, Lifan and Infineon collaborated to develop an EFI application platform tailored for China’s single-cylinder motorcycles. The specific chip used in this platform includes power supply, communication transceiver, engine speed sensor, signal processing module, and multi-channel power drive, significantly improving the integration and reliability of the ECU chip.
Pan Xiandi added, "As a global leader in semiconductor innovation, we are eager to work with Lifan to promote the advancement of EFI technology. Lifan, as a leader in motorcycle jet technology, has a deep understanding of motorcycle engine EFI, offering us more complete application solutions and rich technological experience."
The cooperation between Infineon and Lifan marks a significant step forward in motorcycle EFI technology. Yin Mingshan, Chairman of Lifan Group, said, "It is an honor to sign the MoU with Infineon, a global semiconductor leader, to jointly promote the innovation of motorcycle EFI technology. Infineon’s achievements in automotive electronics are undeniable. Their innovative leadership and wide range of chip products will enable us to witness the export of Chinese motorcycle EFI technology overseas. Lifan will prefer Infineon’s semiconductor devices in future EFI ECU systems."
The strategic cooperation between the two companies has a strong demonstration effect. The MoU includes joint seminars on motorcycle EFI, co-development of application platforms, and joint promotion of motorcycle EFI business. Wu Guang, Deputy Director of the Chongqing Economic and Information Technology Committee, emphasized the significance of this partnership, stating, "This collaboration sets a blueprint for motorcycle EFI technology and will help consolidate and promote the leading edge of domestic motorcycle EFI technology. In the near future, more Chinese private enterprises will engage in technical exports, combining the export of Chinese production with the export of Chinese technology."
