ALABC: 48V mild hybrids can meet emission targets with CO2 reductions of 15-20%

Green Car Congress

Current mild-hybrid vehicle projects, in partnership with Ford and Hyundai/Kia, that utilize advanced 48V lead-carbon batteries, can reduce CO 2 emissions by 15-20%, according to the latest data from the Advanced Lead Acid Battery Consortium (ALABC), presented at the Advanced Automotive Battery Conference (25-28 January, Mainz).

Ricardo: achieving light-duty diesel RDE NOx compliance in urban driving is possible, at a price

Green Car Congress

While known technologies were shown to be capable of appropriate NO x control, they come with downsides to other product attributes, notably cost, reductant fill frequency where applicable, and ultimately, fuel consumption. The cost comparison is with respect to a Euro 5 baseline. Attribute analysis presented in SIA paper.

CPT presenting two papers at SAE World Congress on SpeedStart and TIGERS for 48V mild hybrid systems

Green Car Congress

ADEPT combines the two technologies, which have been demonstrated individually but not yet as an integrated system, applying the low voltage concept of ‘intelligent electrification’ for the first time to a diesel car. SR machines are ideally suited to this concept of low cost development, while reducing the cost of production components.
