48 V Belt Starter Generator (Liquid Cooled)
The 48 Volt Belt Starter Generator (BSG) system has been developed for cost-efficient mass hybridization. Functions such as advanced stop-start, coasting and electric boost can save up to 10% of CO2 emission. In a mild-hybrid application the 48 Volt electric motor replaces the 12 Volt alternator and is directly mounted to the engine via a belt. Continental’s BSG system consists of the electric motor and the inverter.
