42-Volt Capabilities |
 |
The transition from the present 12-volt automotive electrical system to 14/42-volt technology will demand molders provide the right balance of experience and innovation to produce the next generation of electronic components. Tricon currently produces components for 12-volt systems and has the depth of expertise needed to help partners design, develop and produce components to meet the challenges posed by 42-volt systems coming in the next decade.
Many industry observers predict that a variation of the dual 14/42-volt system will proliferate through the automotive industry over the coming decade. This dual system, however, will be a transition technology leading the way to a straight 42-volt system that will begin entering the market within the next 10 years. Over this time, bulky and inefficient mechanical systems that currently run brakes, steering, heating and cooling, suspension and even engine valves can all be replaced by electronic systems. The results are expected to aid in dramatic weight reduction while allowing new systems to significantly improve vehicle performance and fuel economy.
