Founded in 2017, Zhen Drive Technology (sales motor controller) is a high-tech company committed to providing domestic power semiconductors and new energy vehicle drive solutions. Headquartered in Pudong, Shanghai, it has many subsidiaries in Lingang, Shanghai, Liuzhou, Guangxi, Pinghu, Zhejiang and Aachen, Germany.
The founder of the company, Dr. Shen Jie, graduated from RWTH Aachen University in Germany, worked for General Electric (GE) Germany and China Central Research Institute, as technical operations director and technical leader of a number of major core key projects, has rich experience in power electronics industrialization. At the same time, he has more than 80 domestic and foreign invention patents authorized and applied, 40 SCI/EI papers, 4 times awarded the IEEE Best paper.
With continuous innovation and rapid development of excellent technology and market traction, Zhen Drive Technology has gathered many top talents from power electronics and automotive industries at home and abroad. As of September 2023, there are more than 190 R & D engineers among the more than 350 regular employees of the company, more than 50% of the R & D team have a doctor's or master's degree, more than 30% of the employees have overseas work experience, and almost all the R & D personnel have fluent German/English communication skills. The team has more than 300 patents and applications, has won dozens of technical achievement awards, and has a wealth of experience and knowledge in the field of power electronics and automotive engineering.
Since its establishment six years ago, with industry-leading design, testing and supply chain integration capabilities, the high-performance motor controller and self-developed power module of new energy vehicles being developed by Zhendrive Technology have been mass-produced and designated for 30 models of first-line passenger car Oems and Tier-1 suppliers at home and abroad, helping the automotive industry to move forward green. In recent years, through strong technical strength, overseas achievements are particularly bright, expanding including Volvo, Schaeffler, Tata of India, Volkswagen of Germany, Engiro, Deutz and other well-known overseas customers.
In order to actively respond to the national "carbon peak, carbon neutral" goal, Zhen drive in the field of wind, solar energy, energy storage and other new energy equipment continued investment and innovation, the first to achieve the mass domestic replacement of power semiconductor modules. In the field of third-generation power semiconductors, Zhen Zhen and Japan Rohm Semiconductor jointly built a joint laboratory, completed the iterative development of a number of silicon carbide (SiC) modules, and completed the simulation and testing from the device, electronic control to the vehicle level, and the measured efficiency has been significantly improved.
In addition, Zhen Drive technology is well recognized by all sectors of society, and has received strategic investment from Volvo Cars and Schaeffler Group, as well as strong support from domestic first-line fund institutions including JunlianCapital, CICC Capital, China Merchants Capital, Shanghai Science and Technology Fund, Legend Venture Capital, Shanghai International, Yuan He Chenkun, and C Capital. At the same time, Zhen Drive Technology established joint ventures with Wuling Liuji and Lingang Group, respectively, to continue to expand the in-depth cooperation with upstream and downstream partners in the industrial chain.
