At 48 volts, a VTES electric supercharger will transform 7kW of battery power into a highly boosted charge of air for downsized gasoline and diesel engines. There will be no torque deficit or other tradeoffs from essential engine downsizing and higher gearing, which now dominates the development of internal combustion engines.

For example, the report notes the promise of cylinder deactivation, turbocharging and downsizing. The committee estimated costs for turbocharging and downsizing to range from close to zero, when converting from a V6 to a four cylinder engine, to almost $1,000 when converting from a V8 to a V6.

The combination of electronics, advanced battery technology and charging techniques ensures the system can deliver the required rapid charge and discharge performance, while at all times maintaining a stable 12 volts to the vehicle’s main electrical system. Hence the industry trend to dual-charging systems, CPT notes.

Hyundai is also displaying the diesel i40 48V hybrid concept, featuring a lead-carbon battery. The relocated and re-engineered turbo means throttle response time and low-end torque have improved. The lead-carbon battery pack recharges itself during deceleration and through regenerative braking, with the BSG working as a generator.

They haven’t, and GM is clearly struggling to overcome a host of startup production problems with its Ultium vehicles—sales of which have remained far, far below the company’s own goals. The first several months’ worth of EV9s will be built in South Korea, but US production will start sometime during 2024 in West Point, Georgia.
