48-Volt Electrical Systems – A Key Technology Paving the Road to Electric Mobility

The CO²-targets defined by the European Commission can barely be met by improving standard internal combustion engines while today’s hybrid vehicles meet this technical criterion, they are not yet available at sufficiently attractive price points.

The new 48-volt voltage level opens up more cost-effective opportunities for hybridisation. The development of these multiple-voltage architectures in vehicles requires detailed investigation at both the systems and component levels.
