Overview of the three vehicle classes identified in the study, and their corresponding battery technologies. Their low cost and ability to start the engine at cold temperatures sets them apart in conventional and basic micro-hybrid vehicles, and as auxiliary batteries in all other automotive applications, according to the report.

Hybrid vehicles, which require batteries that primarily provide short bursts of power for acceleration and allow the engine to be turned off when idling, have been served well by less expensive nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) batteries, and this class of vehicles will be much slower to shift to higher cost Li-ion batteries, according to the report.

HELLA will conduct real-world vehicle tests to evaluate NiZn’s ability in meeting the high-power requirements of 48-volt mild hybrid systems, while substantially reducing overall system complexity and cost. It’s inherently very safe and also promises to provide equivalent emissions reductions, but at a lower cost.
