High tech shortcut to 48 volts
48V systems are important for cost savings, better design and use of electricity in the vehicle. Listen to the podcast.
Podcast with John Mcelroy, Autoline, and Greg Green, Director of Automotive Marketing, Vicor
Automotive OEMs are perpetually trying to save weight and cut costs. Moving to 48V will provide ample opportunities to save on both. However, automakers realize they have to bring their entire supply chain along with them and carefully count the costs and map their plan. Vicor has the technology to add high-density power converters modules to make the transition from 12V – 48V painless, easy and efficient.
