will supply 5,000 W/kg high power density prismatic lithium-ion battery cells for the new MY 2016 Chevrolet Malibu Hybrid ( earlier post ). Featuring a new full-hybrid powertrain which leverages technology from the Chevrolet Volt, the 2016 Malibu Hybrid will offer an estimated combined fuel economy rating exceeding 45 mpg (5.22

The powertrain incorporates a new aluminum-based downsized twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter The 450 hp (336 kW) V6 gasoline engine will be supported by an electric motor powered by a Li-ion battery pack, capable of adding around 75 kW (100 hp) hybrid power boost when required, and a 9-speed automatic gearbox.

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.

This situation means it is in the interest of the major brands to implement stop-start technology as standard (once the benefits have been established) to meet government targets for average fleet fuel consumption. —“ Start-Stop Vehicles ”. This also offers opportunities for other engine efficiencies such as electric boost.

There are four elements when in place that Nissan thinks will encourage wider market adoption of hybrids, Thunes said: affordable cost; meaningful fuel economy gains; a rational evolution from conventional powertrains to hybrid powertrains; and preserving cabin space and cargo area. Overall fuel economy is improved in a wide range.
