The ADEPT project was launched in 2013 to demonstrate the potential for 48V-based intelligent electrification to deliver full hybrid-scale fuel efficiency from a highly cost-effective package. An effective limitation on downsizing, however, is the delivery of acceptable driveability characteristics and launch performance.

In addition, the integration of hybrid and emissions control systems has the potential to deliver up to a 10-12% reduction in fuel consumption, equivalent to sub-80g/km of CO 2 emissions (NEDC). Ricardo believes the above package is very competitive with other fuel economy solutions such as full hybridization.
