Next gen 48 Volt hybrids by new architectures and connectivity

摘要

Over the coming years, the hybridization of the powertrain will be a key theme in the automotive industry and will decisively influence the technical progress. The combustion engine has already reached a very high level of technical sophistication and further efficiency improvement is limited and only possible with considerable effort. The EU 2025 [CO_2 objectives, emissions legislation and the general boundary conditions of the test cycles (e.g. WLTP [Worldwide harmonized Light-duty Test Procedure] and RDE [Real Driving Emissions]) will be extremely demanding.
