CPT Brings TIGERS Technology to VIPER Project for Enhanced Energy Recovery

Green Car Congress

The project is being led by Jaguar Land Rover. The recent availability of low-cost low-voltage power electronic devices has significantly advanced the development of micro-hybrid technologies such as VTES and SpeedStart, CPT says. The new VIPER project aims to show how a reduction in CO 2 emissions of 4.5%
