Delta Electronics stands out in the global e-mobility landscape not just for its technological prowess but for its foresight, adaptability, and commitment to sustainable solutions. In an exclusive interview with Alessandro Sossa-Izzi (CESGA®), Global PR & Corporate Communications Manager, Delta Electronics at the Taipei AMPA, E-Mobility Taiwan 2035, and Autotronics Taipei show, he revealed how Delta has shipped over 3 million EV chargers globally in the past 15 years, establishing itself as a first mover in electric mobility well before it became mainstream.
Delta invests 8–10% of its annual revenue in R&D, operating 73 R&D centers globally and employing over 12,000 engineers. This strong backbone enables the company to continuously innovate and localize solutions for different markets. “Innovation at Delta is constant. Last year, we invested 10% of our revenue into R&D—more than most tech companies,” Alessandro shared. “And we do it globally—our Indian R&D center is key for adapting and developing market-specific solutions.”
Delta’s Indian R&D team is now developing unique offerings such as rolling stock power solutions for trains, products not offered anywhere else by the company. It reflects Delta’s philosophy of “global knowledge, local solutions.”
Total Solutions for E-Mobility
Delta’s role extends beyond just EV chargers. It’s a total solutions provider for the full e-mobility ecosystem, including automotive electronics, power conversion, and thermal management systems. “We provide powertrain solutions, traction motors, power inverters, and even fans for infotainment systems and seat cooling. We manage everything from battery energy conversion to infotainment,” he explained.
Thermal management is another area of expertise. Delta has been the world leader in DC brushless fans since 2006, now applying this technology to EVs—from radiator fans to advanced vapor chambers for cooling autonomous vehicle systems.

Leading the Charge with Megawatt Systems
With commercial fleets and logistics transitioning to electric power, Delta is prepared with its newly launched Megawatt Charging System (MCS) for trucks and buses. “A Tesla might use a 100 kWh battery, but trucks need much more. That’s where megawatt charging comes in. Our MCS can recharge a truck in about an hour,” he said. “And it’s not just about power—our cooling tech makes it viable.”
Delta showcased its lightweight 50 kW DC fast charger at the expo—only 25 cm deep and under 100 kg—highlighting the company’s focus on compact, user-friendly infrastructure for high-density urban settings.
Smart Energy Management: A Complete Ecosystem
Delta’s commitment to sustainability shines through in its integrated smart energy systems that combine solar generation, energy storage, and charging. “It’s not enough to provide chargers. Where does that electricity come from? We offer a full ecosystem: solar panels, inverters
with 99.2% efficiency, storage systems, and smart energy management,” he explained.
Delta’s efforts have saved customers 45.5 billion kWh of electricity between 2010 and 2023—enough to power all of Germany or Texas for one month.
Localized Solutions for India
India is a key market where Delta is growing rapidly. From deploying over 8,000 EV chargers to powering 700,000 telecom base stations, the company is a crucial player in India’s digital and green transitions. “India’s market is unique. That’s why we’re investing in localized engineering—products designed in India, for India. We’re flexible and listen to what the customer actually needs,” said Alessandro.
Delta’s EV solutions extend to two-wheelers, three-wheelers, and e-bicycles. The company supports battery swapping, mobile chargers for scooters, and traction drives for e-bikes—supporting last-mile connectivity and sustainable cities.
Future Focus: Smart Manufacturing & AI
Delta is aligning its strategy with global mega trends: AI, smart manufacturing, and smart cities. “We’re investing in digital twins to run manufacturing simulations before actual production. It saves time and money,” he said. “With AI data centers, smart buildings, and EV infrastructure, Delta aims to enable smart, sustainable cities.”
Delta already provides AI data center solutions, including high-efficiency cooling and power systems tailored to different facility types—from retrofits to cutting-edge setups.
While Delta is headquartered in Taiwan, its presence is deeply rooted in local ecosystems worldwide. In India, for instance, nearly all staff—from engineers to executives—are local hires. “You go to Delta India, and it feels Indian. The media sees us as a local company. That’s a rare level of integration for a global firm,” he noted proudly.
From EV charging and grid stabilization to AI-ready infrastructure and smart cities, Delta Electronics is far more than a component supplier. It’s a systems integrator, a market listener, and a sustainability pioneer. The company’s unique blend of foresight, flexibility, and global reach ensures its continued leadership in the decades to come. “At Delta, we don’t just follow trends—we anticipate them. We look 10 years ahead and build for that world,” concluded Alessandro.
