Coasting As A Real Driving Function

Depending on the driving profile and without the aid of additional advanced driver assistance systems, mild hybrid vehicles with electrification of 48 V do not require the internal combustion engine for propulsion for up to a quarter of the driving time. The engine can therefore be disengaged and stopped, which – depending on the operating strategy – reduces actual consumption by up to 8 % on average. According to developments at Continental, additional potential savings can be achieved by predictive Energy Management (pEM). An overall technology view is required for drivers to understand and accept the vehicle behaviour.

Focusing On Operational Excellence For Efficient Mobility Offerings

There are various approaches undertaken by automakers and suppliers to increase the efficiency of powertrain as well as attain a reduction in CO2 emissions. There are various points at which these two requirements can be addressed and it all begins with the turning over of the engine or motor itself! This is where the starter motor and generator comes into play, and there are technologies around these products that are enabling better and cleaner performance of engines and motors alike. One of the leading companies in this area is SEG Automotive, which boasts over a century of innovations in the areas of starter motors, generators, start/stop systems and mild hybrids.
