48V Belt Starter Generator (iBSG)
Last update: 12 Jul. 2024What is a 48V belt starter generator?
The 48V iBSG* is a belt-driven reversible starter generator, which is fitted in the car engine in place of the alternator and turns the vehicle into a MHEV (Mild Hybrid Electric Vehicle).
It provides up to 6% fuel economy benefits on WLTP cycle compared with a conventional stop-start system. In addition to the alternator and stop-start function, the 48V Belt Starter Generator will ensure the regenerative braking to recover energy during decelaration and braking phase. This energy is stored in a 48V battery in order to be reused to assist the thermal engine and reduce its fuel consumption.
The power module development of the 48V Belt starter generator (iBSG) is done in-house for improved integration.
For higher reliability and better thermal dissipation, the mechatronic design has been optimized with a thermal decoupling between the electric machine and the electronic. The 48V iBSG is now re-used for light electric mobility.
