Bosch 48V battery targets hybrid vehicle growth in China

Bosch has developed a 48V battery for use in hybrid vehicles. Bosch says the 48V battery has been designed to offer a comparatively inexpensive way of cutting fuel consumption in hybrid vehicles through use of a boost recuperation system (BRS). This involves storing the energy normally lost when braking and applying it when the driver ...

Denso licenses Coretex-R52 to automated driving

Denso is licensing ARM’s Cortex-R52 for automated driving systems and vehicle control reference platforms. The core allows high functional safety levels (ASIL D) to be achieved, providing hardware-enforced separation of software tasks to ensure safety-critical code is isolated – which decreases the amount of code that needs to be safety-certified. Denso used ARM ‘cycle models’ ...
