HELLA gets Innovation Award for battery module solutions

HELLA’s innovative system solutions for mild hybrids, such as the PowerPack 48 volt and dual voltage battery management system has seen it earn the Industry Developing and Innovation Award in China.

Against the background of ever tightening emission targets, the 48V mild hybrid powertrain is a cost-efficient bridging technology to support car manufacturers to achieve emission targets in short and medium term.

HELLA is one of the first to the market with these innovative battery module solutions and these were named one of the most innovative projects in the automotive industry by Automobile and Parts, one of the leading industry magazines in China.

Michael Weitert, vice president at the HELLA technical centre in Shanghai said: “Winning the Industry Developing and Innovation Award is an important acknowledgement of the development work by HELLA’s team and it confirms HELLA’s commitment to make driving more efficient, with innovative solutions for battery and power electronics.

“The dual voltage battery management system and PowerPack 48 volt provide key enablers for CO2 savings in mild hybrid vehicles.”

For larger vehicles, HELLA developed the Powerpack 48 Vvolt.

It connects a lithium-ion battery block with the BMS and DC/DC converter.

For the compact class there is the dual voltage battery management system, which bundles the conventional, separate core elements of 48V hybridisation (48V battery, 12V battery and DC/DC converter) in a single product with the package space of a conventional lead-acid battery.

The new solutions enable savings of five to six grams of CO2 per kilometre and thus help to achieve CO2 targets in the short term.
