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

They started off as simple‚ one-cylinder machines‚ to today‚ where they are twelve cylinder animals. From fuel-efficient coupes‚ to gas guzzling SUVs‚ or even the ultra expensive supercars‚ all use gasoline. The use of this gasoline makes or breaks the selling point of the car. We base the cars off of their utility; the gas-guzzlers may be the ones with the most torque and pulling
