Hyundai introducing 48V mild hybrid system with 1.6L diesel in Europe

Green Car Congress

The technology comprises a 48-volt battery, a Mild Hybrid Starter Generator (MHSG) and LDC converter (Low Voltage DC/DC). Thus, parts of the energy stored in the 48V battery system can also be used to stabilize the 12V on-board power supply. A belt connects the MHSG to the crankshaft of the internal combustion engine.
