Why do Volvo Hybrid Cars stand out?

It’s time to find out what Mild Hybrid means. The electrification of vehicles is based on the ideal of caring for the planet, producing fewer polluting emissions. To that end, Volvo Cars developed its new 48-volt Mild Hybrid system.

We can explain, in a few words, that this system has two engines, one internal combustion and one electric . This second motor is smaller in size and acts as a powerful assistant.

The electric motor is used mainly to replace the starter motor and the alternator. Likewise, it can provide power to other electrical components of the vehicle, such as the sound or air conditioning systems.

The electric motor can charge the 48V battery, storing the energy recovered from the brakes. After the battery charge is regulated, the energy stored in 48V direct current is converted to 12V (like ordinary car batteries). It is at this moment that the stored energy is distributed for the electrical needs of the different components.

Volvo Cars Mild Hybrid vehicles save fuel and reduce tailpipe emissions . The lower consumption of gasoline is facilitated by the electric motor, which actively helps the combustion engine and relieves several of its functions.

At the same time, this hybrid system offers you a relaxed and controlled drive. Climbing aboard a Volvo Mild Hybrid pickup, you’ll enjoy smooth starts and optimized acceleration. As well as the efficiency of the Start/Stop technology.

Now you can release a powerful, comfortable and efficient Volvo Cars truck. As if this were not enough, by driving the light hybridization models you will collaborate with the environment, generating fewer emissions.
