Draft:List of Mild Hybrid Vehicles

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


This is a list of mild hybrid vehicles, as these are becoming more popular in the automotive industry.[1][2] Most use a Belt-Alternator-Starter (BAS) system to assist the engine with driving, and use regenerative braking to recharge the battery and slow down the vehicle. Other mild hybrids, including Hondas with the IMA system and the Mercedes S400 BlueHybrid system that was co-developed with BMW (see Global Hybrid Cooperation), utilize an integrated starter generator (ISG), which is similar to a BAS but connects to the output of the engine, vs utilizing a belt at the crankshaft.[3][4] Mild hybrids are not regular hybrid vehicles due to their inability to drive the car on electric power alone. Usually the batteries are much smaller than regular hybrids and only assist the engine in driving and start stop applications. These systems usually replace downsized engines with turbochargers, sometimes simplifying designs by using an electric motor or electric turbo instead of a regular turbo. (Ex: 992.1 Porsche 911 GTS with a 3.0L Twin turbo vs 992.2 Porsche 911 GTS T-Hybrid with a 3.6L single electric turbo and electric motor)

This list includes vehicles starting from the 2000's, as manufactures studied different methods to meet emissions standards.
