Johnson Controls is premiering its new 48-volt micro hybrid battery demonstration module in Europe at the Hanover Messe currently taking place in north Germany.
The 48-volt hybrid battery would be used in vehicles in conjunction with a 12-volt starter battery, allowing greater energy and power efficiency while keeping overall system costs to a minimum, says the supplier.

Johnson Controls added it would also enable greater fuel savings than start-stop systems and is more cost-effective than hybrid or electric vehicle systems.
“This micro hybrid technology has huge potential,” said Johnson Controls head, Power Solutions EMEA, Holger Jetses. “By using the 48-volt battery, vehicles can save between 15% and 20% in fuel.”
The maximum power of the 48-volt battery would be enough to operate applications such as electric air-conditioning systems, active chassis control, storage and recuperation of brake energy and, if necessary, supply power to the drive system.
The 12-volt battery would also continue to power other components such as lighting and control units.
