The new Hyundai Tucson (2018/2019) 2.0 CRDi can be equipped with a fuel-efficient 48V mild hybrid powertrain. This system comprises a 0.44 kWh 48V lithium-ion battery, a Mild Hybrid Starter Generator (MHSG), a LDC converter (Low Voltage DC/DC) and an inverter. During acceleration the MHSG supports the engine with up to 12 kW (16 HP). The MHSG assists the combustion engine by discharging the battery to reduce engine load with light acceleration or to provide additional torque to the engine under strong acceleration. During in-gear deceleration and braking, energy is recuperated to recharge the battery. During braking, below 30 km/h, the system turns the combustion engine off. In this way, the Mild Hybrid system significantly improves the engine's fuel economy.
