Micro Hybrid

Micro Hybrid vehicles offer 12-15 percent fuel efficiency over internal combustion engine vehicles by extending Start-Stop functionality.

These vehicles use a duel battery system. A 48-volt lithium-ion battery captures power from braking and supports higher power loads – like electric air conditioning, active chassis technology and engine boost. And a 12-volt lead-acid battery is used to start the engine and power the lights, entertainment systems and general accessories.

Adding a range of additional fuel saving technologies – such as light-weighting – can deliver enough fuel economy and emissions improvement to meet longer-term regulations.
