ALABC: 48V mild hybrids can meet emission targets with CO2 reductions of 15-20%

Green Car Congress

The T-Hybrid (based on a Kia Optima) ( earlier post ) and the ADEPT (based on a Ford Focus) ( earlier post ) both utilize an advanced 48V lead-carbon battery system with bolt-on electrical components that allow for significant engine-downsizing without loss in performance. liter engine the performance of a 1.8

CPT developing 48-volt electric supercharger for micro-mild hybrids

Green Car Congress

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.

As a reduced cost concept, it aims to make more intelligent use of electrical energy to achieve the desired reduction in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. This common core also provides greater confidence in the robustness of prototypes, while minimizing the cost of variants further supports the development of 48V systems.
