THE MILD HYBRID powertrain, also known as MHEV, utilizes both a combustion engine and an electric motor. The MHEV is used to start the engine and brake or slow the car, thereby recovering brake energy that is stored in the 48V battery. This energy is then used to help boost the combustion engine when accelerating. Mild Hybrid drive trains are available as either diesel or petrol variants. What are the benefits? Smoother drive - The mild hybrid technology adds to a more refined driving experience. The engine restarts instantly and you can enjoy a smoother drive from standstill. Lower fuel consumption - The integrated starter generator actively reduces engine load for lowered fuel consumption, especially in urban driving situations.
