Hillcrest Energy Technologies, a manufacturer of high-performance power conversion technologies, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Systematec GmbH, a Germany-based engineering firm specializing in power electronics design and system integration. This MOU underscores the companies’ commitment to strengthening their collaborative partnership and identifies multiple avenues for deepened cooperation, including the potential establishment of a distribution agreement. Under the terms being explored, Systematec would distribute Hillcrest’s proprietary Zero Voltage Switching (ZVS) inverter technology for automotive applications in Europe.

Combining Hillcrest’s ZVS technology with Systematec’s robust presence in Europe and technical expertise, the partnership aims to accelerate the adoption of high-efficiency, cost-effective solutions by automotive manufacturers and suppliers.

Hillcrest’s ZVS inverter technology achieves an industry-leading efficiency of 99.7%, virtually eliminates switching losses, reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI), and lowers overall system costs. These capabilities can provide a significant competitive advantage in automotive applications and beyond.

With more than two decades of experience in power electronics design and system integration, Systematec GmbH serves the automotive and industrial sectors with tailored, innovative solutions. Based in Germany, the company is a trusted partner for engineering services and system implementation.

The companies plan to finalize the terms of the potential distribution agreement in the coming months. Beyond distribution, Hillcrest and Systematec intend to collaborate on broader initiatives that leverage their complementary expertise to advance the adoption of efficient, sustainable power conversion solutions across Europe.
