The new “EcoDynamics+” powertrain supplements acceleration with electric power from an additional 48-volt battery and extends combustion engine ‘off time’ using a new Mild-Hybrid Starter-Generator unit. The adoption of the MHSG also means the conventional starter motor can be downsized and used primarily for cold starts at low temperatures.
