FEV ECObrid – a 48V mild hybrid concept for passenger car Diesel engines

Powertrain electrification is a key to compliance with future exhaust emission and CO2 limits. Besides conventional 12 V systems and high-voltage hybrid architectures, 48 V mild hybridization offers significant fuel economy potential and advanced emission control without the need for an entire powertrain redesign. The 48 V power net enables high recuperation capability, improved stop-start functionalities as well as electrical boosting by an electric compressor (e-Compressor) or belt-driven starter generator (BSG).
