Corrosion will be a problem with 48-volt electrical systems. While voltage increases by a factor of four, corrosion could increase by a factor of 10. In a 48-volt electrical system, the alternator ...

With each passing year, new cars get more complicated and high-tech. The new higher power requirements associated with these advancements—along with ever-stricter emissions regulations—are why 48-volt ...

Mild hybridization in long-haul trucks is gaining momentum for fuel savings and emissions reductions. The 48-volt system works in tandem with a truck’s existing 12-volt architecture and includes an ...

Many cars will soon have 48-volt electrical systems. They'll power stop-start motors, hybrid motors, and turbochargers, allowing for smaller engines with better fuel economy and performance. They'll ...

While automakers sketch out a world of sleek and silent electric cars or even self-driving pods that are more den than dragster, the all-electric future is farther off than it may appear. Car ...

As power demand rises in modern cars from all the ancillary features they are being fitted with, automakers are responding by installing more powerful 48-volt electrical systems to complement the ...
