Hybrid Vehicle Market - Top Companies and Manufacturers

In the News

• Ford Motor Company is ramping up production at North American plants to meet strong customer demand for vehicles including the Mustang Mach-E, F-150 Lightning, Bronco Sport and Maverick. The company is also preparing to launch all-new versions of four flagship vehicles in 2023: the Super Duty, Ranger, Mustang and Escape.

• For years, the technology company Continental AG has been supporting an ecological and cost-effective electrification of 48 volts, which could be used in both gasoline and diesel engines. Before IAA 2019, Powertrain presented the latest innovation in its 48-volt drive solution: a 48-volt high-power drive system with a power output of 30 kW. A full hybrid car with 48-volt technology - this was previously considered impossible. In order for a hybrid vehicle to run on electricity only, the electrical part of the power train would typically use high voltage technology - high voltages of 800 volts. However, Continental engineers managed to develop a 48-volt hybrid system with similar characteristics to high-voltage electric drive, namely 48-volt high-power technology.
