Jaguar Land Rover on Tuesday established a strategic agreement with Wolfspeed Inc for the supply of silicon carbide semiconductors for next-generation electric vehicles. Under the cooperation, Jaguar Land Rover will utilize Wolfspeed's innovative silicon carbide technology specifically in the vehicles' inverter, controlling transmission of power from the battery to electric motors, the company stated in a statement.

In order to increase visibility and control over JLR's future supply chain, JLR will take part in the "Wolfspeed assurance of supply initiative" to guarantee the supply of this technology for future electric car production needs.

With the Jaguar TCS Racing team, which competes in the Formula E World Championship, Wolfspeed already has a relationship. Performance and efficiency on the track have been accelerated with this company's silicon carbide technology.

According to JLR's Reimagine plan, the company will become an electric-first enterprise and achieve carbon net zero across its operations, goods, and services by 2039.
