Introduction
Chapter 1: Benefits
- The changeover
from 12-volt to 36-volt batteries – more to it than meets
the eye?
- Straight to 42
volt – or a hybrid? – manufacturers begin to decide
on deployment options
- The first 42-volt
cars – still at the show stage, but with production models
around the corner
- Automatic stop
and start processes – a key element in improved fuel efficiency
- Engine developments
– using 42 volts as a means of improving vehicle efficiency
- Brake-by-wire and
active suspension – how 42 volts can open potential for applications
- Battery design
– looking to the portable devices industry for inspiration
- The truck industry
– 42 volts offers the opportunity to catch up with car technology
- Hybrid vehicles
– how 42 volts can open up new design opportunities
- Electronic components
– a major market begins to respond to new challenges from
42 volt
- Retro-fit accessories
– how ready is the industry to deal with new voltage requirements?
Chapter 2: Ramifications
- Electro-magnetic
compliance – what impact will higher voltages have on interference
levels?
- Parts sourcing
– an imperative to ensure component suppliers are able to
meet new demands
- Independent service
garages – facing their own spares supply chain issues
- Technician training
– the need to cater for skills shortage cannot be overstressed
