Mild hybrid systems utilize 48V technology for minor modifications to improve the driving performance and fuel consumption indicators of gasoline vehicles. Here are the relevant details: 1. Definition: The standard voltage of vehicle equipment is increased to 48V, which reduces the load on the engine. Components such as the air conditioning compressor and starter motor are switched to electric drive. Additionally, an electric motor and battery pack are incorporated, further enhancing the battery's energy recovery capability. When the vehicle starts or briefly stops, it switches to pure electric mode, avoiding the high fuel consumption associated with vehicle startup. 2. Hybrid Vehicles: Hybrid electric vehicles, also known as compound power vehicles, are equipped with more than one power source: batteries, fuel cells, solar cells, or internal combustion engine generators. Currently, compound power vehicles generally refer to those with an internal combustion engine generator combined with a battery system.

Last year I switched to a car equipped with a 48-volt mild hybrid system, and it drives really smoothly. Simply put, it's an upgraded hybrid technology that replaces the old 12-volt system with a 48-volt battery, assisting the engine with smoother stop-start operations, recovering braking energy to recharge the battery, and providing extra torque during acceleration. This helps me save fuel—actual tests show 1-2 liters less consumption per 100 km in city driving, plus reduced noise and a smoother driving experience. While it's not fully electric, it's more eco-friendly than pure gasoline cars, and maintenance isn't complicated—just regular battery checks with no major issues. Overall, it feels practical and economical, perfect for budget-conscious drivers looking to save on fuel.
