STMicroelectronics and
YTO Establish Joint Laboratory
for Intelligent Agricultural Equipment
Development
China, November 26, 2020 --
STMicroelectronics (NYSE: STM), a global
semiconductor leader serving customers across the spectrum of
electronics applications, and YTO Group Corporation, a leading
Chinese provider of agricultural and construction machinery, today
announced their agreement to establish a joint laboratory in YTO’s
Research Institute of Intelligence and Information in Luoyang,
Henan province. The lab will focus on the research and development
of electronic solutions for engine, vehicle, and agricultural
controls in tractors.
The rapid development of automated control technologies,
together with local and global emission regulations for off-road
diesel engines, are driving the penetration of electronic control
systems in tractors. YTO and ST are bringing their complementary
know-how together to address the government requirements and
industry needs.
YTO’s Research Institute of Intelligence and Information
specializes in electronic control systems for three main
agricultural-machinery applications: tractors, harvesters, and
agricultural equipment. For its part, ST is a world-leading
supplier of semiconductors that make driving safer, greener, and
more connected and offers one of the industry’s broadest portfolios
of automotive ICs. Moreover, ST brings a wealth of experience
collaborating with numerous suppliers to meet the demanding
requirements of the automotive industry.
“As the first producer of tractors, road rollers, and
cross-country trucks in China, YTO has a long history of success as
a leading provider of agricultural equipment,” said Lei Jun,
Assistant Director of YTO’s Research Institute of Intelligence and
Information. “This cooperation combines ST’s cutting-edge
technologies and application-specific ICs with our solutions, to
continue to innovate and to ensure outstanding quality and
performance.”
ST is set to provide the joint lab with its latest
automotive-semiconductor technology and solutions, including SPC5x
32-bit microcontrollers and Smart Power ICs such as
motor-control, power-supply, and general-purpose high- and low-side
actuation drivers, along with the appropriate application notes,
reference designs, development tools, technical support, and
training.
“With the increasing penetration of electronic control systems
in agricultural applications and the development of China’s
emission standards for off-road diesel engines, cooperation across
the supply chain is a necessity,” said MH TEY, Greater China, South
Asia and Korea Head of Automotive Marketing and Application,
STMicroelectronics. “ST is engaging with its partners to build
strong ecosystems and we believe the ST - YTO joint lab will bring
even greater momentum to ST’s growth in China’s tractor and
agricultural market while advancing the development of YTO’s
next-gen electronic control systems for agricultural
machinery.”
