A special conference is being held this week to discuss the advancements of 48 volt hybrid systems for vehicles. The European Advanced Lead-Acid Battery Consortium (EALABC) will inform automotive industry executives this week of the environmental and cost benefits of advanced lead-carbon batteries now being commercialized for a new generation of low cost 48V ‘super hybrid’ vehicles.
The EALABC said it will deliver a technical paper outlining the consortium’s approach to low voltage hybridisation. Organised by IQPC Automotive, the 2nd International Conference on Advanced Automotive 48V Power Supply Systems is being held in Düsseldorf, Germany, November 18 to 20, 2014.
“The low additional cost of introducing 48V mild hybrid powertrains is proving a major attraction to carmakers, because it will help them comply with stringent CO2 regulations being introduced in 2020 with even tougher rules following in 2025,” said Allan Cooper, European projects coordinator for ALABC.
“Significant emissions reduction and major improvements in fuel efficiency can be achieved with advanced lead-carbon batteries using materials that can be fully recycled into new batteries. This electrochemical breakthrough provides the most cost effective solution for 48V hybrids, which have a unique requirement for a battery demanding a high rate partial state-of-charge (HRPSoC) capability.”
