Continental presents 48V full-hybrid system; motor delivers up to 30 kW

Green Car Congress

In the run-up to IAA 2019, Continental Powertrain is now presenting a 48-volt high-power drive system with 30 kW, enabling a full-hybrid vehicle. Instead, it is the conversion of electrically stored energy into traction in general. Conventional full-hybrid vehicle would normally use high voltage technology.

Fraunhofer working on optimized methanol reformers to deliver hydrogen

Green Car Congress

Converting hydrogen into methanol can provide a solution, as not only is methanol much easier to transport than hydrogen, it can also be stored almost unlimited at ambient pressure. This paves the way for the production of green hydrogen in sunny regions and its conversion into methanol and its simplified transport. © Fraunhofer IMM.
