Global 48V Micro Hybrid Market 2014-2018 Micro hybrid vehicles have a start-stop mechanism that automatically shuts down the engine during idling and restarts the engine when the car accelerates. The mechanism reduces fuel consumption and emissions and ensures a better fuel economy. This technology has a potential to save around 15 percent on fuel savings. The 48V micro hybrid vehicle is designed in such a way that it can capture energy from braking and is able to support higher loads such as

An electric car is powered by an electric motor instead of a gasoline engine. The electric motor gets energy from a controller‚ which regulates the amount of power transmitted throughout the vehicle‚ based on the driver’s use of an accelerator pedal. The electric motors give electric cars instant torque‚ creating a strong and smooth acceleration pattern. Electric cars are about three times more efficient than cars with an internal combustion engine. A pure-battery electric car uses energy stored
