In the HyBoost project, Ricardo, Ford Motor Company, Control Power Technologies (CPT) and the European Advanced Lead Acid Battery Consortium (EALABC) demonstrated a concept they termed “intelligent electrification”. ADEPT will also use a carbon-enhanced capacitive lead-acid battery, offering a high power-to-weight ratio.

For the ADEPT project, the consortium comprises CPT, the European Advanced Lead Acid Battery Consortium (EALABC), Faurecia Emissions Control Technologies, Ford and the University of Nottingham. The exhaust gas can reach temperatures greater than 900 °C, whereas the turbine upper functional limit is 850 °C.

Unlike crankshaft-driven superchargers and exhaust-gas-driven turbochargers, an electric supercharger is mechanically decoupled from the engine, meaning it can deliver the air almost instantaneously into the engine—spinning up to 70,000 rpm in less than a third of a second. Micro-mild hybrids. With performance similar to that of the 1.8

RegEnBoost integrates the three devices into a powertrain electrical power network (PEPN), which also incorporates a DC to DC converter and an enhanced lead acid battery, optimized for fast energy storage and release. A final key element of the RegEnBoost concept is the TIGERS turbo-generator. liters capacity.
