This means that in addition the power demand is more difficult to achieve with engine downsizing and transmission down-speeding alone. The displacement of high wattage loads to a more efficient 48 volt network is expected to be the next step in the development of a new generation of low voltage mild hybrid vehicles. Earlier post.).

To this end, it is anticipated that the industry will begin moving from 12-volt battery systems to 48-volt systems. Specific to diesel, it also has the potential to significantly reduce pollutant emissions, like mononitrogen oxide (NO x ), and help meet more stringent regulations including the Real-Driving Emissions test in Europe.

It is important that the European Commission not only set new car CO2 targets for 2025 and 2030 but also limit the gap between laboratory and real-world levels by defining an on-road conformity factor for CO2, as it has already done for air pollutants.

It is alarming to see comparisons of the Chevrolet Volt PHEV with battery electric cars when the comparison focuses only on the electric range and ignores the other important differences. The 2900 miles traveled by the Volt, drawing upon its combustion engine, produced far less CO 2 since the Volt uses a small and more efficient engine.

They use cheap, clean, and domestic electricity for short trips and daily commutes, displacing or eliminating oil consumption and CO2 pollution. The new Chevy Volt Prototype is a Series system or Range Extended EV (REEV), and probably the ideal configuration for a number of reasons.

General Motors Chevy Volt series PHEV, which it calls "extended range electric vehicle" (EREV), part of "E-Flex" multi-fuel platform. See Chevy Volt for latest. Now Lutz envisions selling hundreds of thousands of Volts a year, probably priced below $30,000. I want to stick around to see the Volt come to market.
