Hyundai Motor has now combined its efficient and responsive 48-Volt mild hybrid technology with the 100 kW/136-PS 1.6-litre CRDi diesel engine.
In addition to the 2.0-litre CRDi 48-Volt diesel powertrain introduced in the New Tucson in 2018, Hyundai Motor has now combined its efficient and responsive 48-Volt mild hybrid technology with the 100 kW/136-PS 1.6-litre CRDi diesel engine.
The technology comprises a 48-Volt battery, a Mild Hybrid Starter Generator (MHSG) and LDC converter (Low Voltage DC/DC). In addition to the 48V electrical system, the vehicle is equipped with the conventional 12V electrical system, which is connected via the DC/DC converter to the 48V system. Thus, parts of the energy stored in the 48V battery system can also be used to stabilise the 12V on-board power supply.
