NREL to design silicon carbide-based power inverters for US ground combat vehicles
What happened
The U.S. National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) has been selected to redesign traction inverters for U.S. Army ground combat vehicles using silicon carbide (SiC) technology, aiming to double vehicle range and reduce component size by 75%. This is part of a long-term R&D project focused on military vehicle electrification. Neutral: This is a distant, non-commercial R&D milestone with no immediate impact on commercial SiC supply, demand, or pricing.
