Continental supplying 48-volt belt starter generator with integrated power electronics for Audi A8

Green Car Congress

This is made possible by a water-cooling system that protects the motor, and particularly the power electronics, from overheating. At the same time, the 48 volt board net makes it possible to provide four times as much electrical power at short notice, at the same current. liter fuel per 100 kilometer in real driving situations.

GM’s new RWD PHEV system for Cadillac CT6 designed for fun-to-drive high performance as well as efficiency; Volt on steroids

Green Car Congress

GM believes that the rectangular wire construction—the bar winding—has “salient and tangible” benefits for electric driving that come from the improvement in performance of the stator. With bar winding construction, GM can pack in more copper, with about half of the DC resistance of the stator. The battery pack.
