NXP Semiconductors has announced that its Trimension NCJ29Dx family, part of one of the industry’s broadest UWB portfolios, is the technology foundation for Audi’s advanced new UWB platform, delivering the precise and secure real-time localisation required by leading premium car manufacturers to enable hands-free secure car access via smart mobile device and other UWB-based features.

Bidirectional EV charging, or Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G), plays an essential role in the decarbonisation of the electricity sector. But there are still hurdles to overcome, e.g. lack of standardisation and insufficient interoperability. To improve interoperability of bidirectional charging, the Hybrid and Electric Vehicle Technology Collaboration Programme (HEV TCP) by the International Energy Agency (IEA) launched Task 53. In line with this goal, the...
