The number of architectures under consideration for 48V systems is still growing, particularly across different vehicle classes. The unit can be applied to naturally-aspirated or forced induction engines—though most likely will be applied to downsized turbocharged engines as an additional unit to the existing turbocharger.

Renault’s ongoing downsizing strategy is aimed at reducing the cubic capacity of its engines in order to bring down fuel consumption and CO 2 emissions, without detracting from performance. The downsizing process involved shortening the piston stroke by reducing the size of the crank pin and conrod assembly. Select Engines.
