Engineers have consistently predicted that cars would shift from 12-volt electrical systems to 48-volt systems for two decades. But cost and inertia have kept 12-volt electrics in place, with the ...

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 ...

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 ...

Vehicle electrification does not always have to mean range anxiety and expensive charging systems. As Eaton reminded Commercial Carrier Journal this week, mild hybridization through a 48-volt system ...

Tesla seems serious about changing the automotive industry forever, not least by offering its latest technologies for free. In the latest move, Tesla sent the documentation of the Cybertruck's 48-volt ...

While battery-electric vehicles are getting attention as carmakers and nations announce plans for a combustion-free future, combustion-powered vehicles with an electric assist will represent the ...
