According to "East Network" report, 10 years ago in the global financial crisis, China National Automotive Group acquired a 75% stake in British electronics company Dynex for 8 million pounds to obtain the capability to produce semiconductor chips, including insulated gate bipolar chips (Insulated Gate Bipolar). Transistor, IGBT) The most important, this kind of chip is regarded as the "key component" of the electromagnetic gun.
When the Chinese company acquired Dynex, the British side did not realize that it would cause national security problems. However, Dynex semiconductor technology eventually helped China break through the technical obstacles and developed a "super gun" with a speed of 5400 miles per hour.
Not long ago, CRRC Zhuzhou issued information that the company’s IGBT module products of CRRC Times Electric recently beat international competitors and once again received Indian orders. This is the largest order for electric IGBTs obtained abroad in the CRRC era. It also means that China's independent research and development of IGBT products in the overseas market is operating steadily, gradually recognized by the international market.
In February of this year, the parent company Dynex Semiconductor in China is planning to establish a semiconductor R&D center in the UK. The center will employ up to 200 engineers in the next three years and will be Dynex, two British subsidiaries of China’s Zhuzhou CRRC And Soil Machine Dynamics provides additional research capabilities.
