In case eco-friendly motoring isn’t your cup of tea, the segment is focused these days on extending the range of hybrid or electric vehicles. To earn those valuable extra kilometers, you need either a better battery or more efficient electrics and electronics.
In order to make advancements happen as soon as possible, the European Advanced Lead Acid Battery Consortium is organizing the 2nd International Conference on Advanced Automotive 48V Power Supply Systems between November 18th and 20th.
EALABC will tell big automakers about the financial benefits of advanced lead-carbon batteries. This type of battery is said to be the factor that’ll introduce a new generation of low-cost 48V “super hybrid” vehicles.
“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,” explained Allan Cooper, European projects coordinator for the North Carolina-based Advanced Lead-Acid Battery Consortium international research and development organization.
“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 capability.” added Mr. Cooper.
Let’s wait and see if this tech will be able to cut the mustard with big eco-friendly boys like Toyota...
