The Power Engineer Electrifying John Deere’s Tractors, Trucks, and More

Cars That Think

Inverters allow a machine’s power train to run power between the electrical machines, acting like a generator or motor, and they convert electricity from AC to DC and back again. To accelerate Deere’s electrification evolution, from 2015 through 2021, Singh and his group collaborated with researchers from the U.S. cubic meters.

Bosch 48V mild hybrid system to be production-ready by 2017; Gen 2 prototype integrated in transmission for all-electric driving

Green Car Congress

A DC/DC converter supplies the car’s 12-volt on-board network from the 48-volt vehicle electrical system. At the IAA 2015, Bosch will also be presenting a new second-generation of the entry-level hybrid that is currently still in development. The newly developed lithium-ion battery is also significantly smaller.
