Schaffner receives multi-year order for
new electric vehicle platform
The Schaffner Group confirms that it has received an order
from a major European automobile manufacturer to supply
components for a series-production electric drive vehicle.
Schaffner says the multi-year order, with a value in the
low double-digit millions, will impact on the Schaffner
Group's sales from fiscal 2011/12 and will be completed
over the approximately five-year lifespan of the vehicle
platform.
"This largest order to date for power components for
an electric vehicle marks an important milestone on the
road to positioning the Schaffner Group as the leading international
partner for innovative EMC and power quality solutions in
the field of electromobility," explains Alexander Hagemann,
Chief Executive Officer of the Schaffner Group. "We
are convinced that electromobility will become a key market
for the Schaffner Group in the long term."
The Schaffner Group develops and supplies both EMC and
power quality components for electric drive systems in electric
and hybrid vehicles and for the charging infrastructure.
In recent years Schaffner has also established itself as
a successful supplier of components for comfort and safety
electronics in conventional automobiles.
