Deliver More Power to EVs with 48-V Systems (Download)

For more than half a century, 48-V low-voltage battery systems have served various segments of the transportation industry, including trucks, buses, agricultural vehicles, boats, aircraft, military, and more. The move to 48-V systems continues to escalate these days because the long-standing, 12-V automotive electrical platform is being pushed to its limits by the orders of magnitude higher power demands of electric and hybrid vehicles.

And not just the drivetrain. The added load of sophisticated, high-power infotainment systems, driver assistance and self-driving computers, sophisticated climate controls, and more are driving (no pun intended) power demands through the roof.
