What Brusa HyPower does

Brusa HyPower AG is a Swiss power-electronics specialist that designs, develops and manufactures on-board chargers (OBCs), DC/DC converters and bidirectional AC/DC conversion systems for electric mobility. The company serves battery-electric and fuel-cell vehicle programs across on-highway passenger and commercial vehicles, off-highway machinery, and stationary applications such as battery storage, DC fast charging infrastructure, fuel cell generators and electrolyzers. Its portfolio spans 11 kW to 720 kW, supports both 400V and 800V battery architectures, and is built around SiC-based, galvanically isolated, often bidirectional topologies with reported peak efficiencies of up to 99% (BDC668). Key products include the OBC7xx on-board charger family, BDC668/BDC688 fuel-cell-oriented boost converters, the BSC7xx HV-to-LV supply converter, the BACDC1-G AC/DC platform, and a 30 kW DC Wallbox with V2X capability.

The company is a 2021 spin-off from BRUSA Elektronik AG (originally founded in 1985) and is headquartered in Buchs, St. Gallen, with production in Sennwald (up to 10,000 units/year designed capacity) and a subsidiary in Shenzhen, China. It holds ISO 9001/14001/45001, ISO 26262 and IEC 61508 certifications, and complies with CCS1/CCS2 and IEC/EN 61000 and 60068 test standards. Its go-to-market is engineering-driven direct enterprise sales to automotive OEMs and tier-1 suppliers (named customers include BMW, Daimler, Volkswagen, Hyundai, Volvo, Mercedes-Benz and Karma), complemented by a co-development and supply agreement with Bosch Rexroth for off-highway e-mobility through the eLION platform. Revenue is generated primarily through hardware sales of qualified components, with supporting engineering, validation and development services. A strategic minority investment in July 2022 from Bosch Rexroth, M&G Investments (Catalyst) and Temasek supports ongoing scale-up of manufacturing and product development.
