Hella, an automotive electronics supplier, is developing two energy-management products to improve the performance of vehicle electric systems – a voltage stabilizer and a dc-dc converter.
Hella’s voltage stabilizers are described as critical components for fuel-saving and start-stop engine systems. The stabilizers supply a constant output for voltage-critical loads in systems that require a steady flow of voltage, such as navigation displays, lights or radios. Even at a traffic signal, for example, lighting, safety-displays or audio-system disruptions can be distracting to the driver.
