Dayco has designed and manufactured a tailored solution for the complete belt-integrated starter generator (BSG) hybrid system, also known as P0 architecture, for Maserati’s mild-hybrid electric vehicle (MHEV) engine in its Ghibli Hybrid.
Dayco’s vice president OE sales and business development, Wouter Nijenhuis said: “To achieve Maserati’s required objectives, each component of the hybrid system has been designed to the highest standards to maximise fuel savings, reduce CO2 emissions and increase the durability of the entire system.
“This has been made possible through the compact design and use of optimised materials to produce the side-arm tensioner, the development of a new poly-V belt incorporating innovative materials and manufacturing processes to guarantee the best coefficient of friction during the lifetime of the engine, and finally, with the new damper pulley, specifically designed to protect the crankshaft of this powerful, MHEV engine.
“Emphasising our commitment to the relationship with Maserati, the Dayco side-arm tensioner is being produced on a new, dedicated assembly line, which is state-of-the-art for this type of product and equipped with Industry 4.0 technology.
“Embracing the trend towards automation and data exchange in manufacturing technologies and processes that is at its heart, the PLC computer control system utilises artificial intelligence, inter-connected assembly machines, and finally, features fully autonomous testing.”
