Improving battery power to such as level would further enable hybridization to near-HEV levels as well as engine downsizing, thereby enabling fuel economy improvements beyond the current 10-15% MHEV limit. Finally, partial hybridization using the 48V powertrain may be integrated to improve fuel economy. —Abdellahi et al.

On the technology side, although upgraded lead-acid batteries currently represent the majority of production, Li-ion is beginning to make inroads, and ultracapacitors are establishing a niche in a supporting role. —“ Start-Stop Vehicles ”. This also offers opportunities for other engine efficiencies such as electric boost.
