MAHLE Powertrain is presenting a new, prototype 48-volt battery with optimized battery cooling and cell chemistry to enable increased charge and discharge rates. Thus a compact and cost-effective battery that is capable of high charge and discharge power levels relative to its storage capacity (high C rates) is desirable.

Controlled Power Technologies (CPT) is developing a 48-volt version of its 12 volt electric supercharger based on its variable torque enhancement system known as VTES. 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.

In order to further reduce its CO 2 emissions in this vehicle class, the gasoline engine will require a low-cost, basic hybrid solution. This will be done with a broad range of efficiency-enhancing technologies, including the turbocharging of downsized engines. Automating the manual transmission, for example with the eClutch.

The low voltage approach compared with full hybrid and EV nominal voltages, which are typically in the range of 300 to 600V, avoids the need for high cost safety features and large battery packs. SR machines are ideally suited to this concept of low cost development, while reducing the cost of production components.

Representatives of GM stoked the clamor for the Volt, and a Saturn Vue plug-in hybrid sat on the show floor. As America downsizes and SUVs go unpurchased, GM’s diehards put inefficient if zero-emission H2/FCV Equinoxes in advertisements and a few dozen driveways to which they remain tethered by unavailable fuel.
