48-volt vehicle electrical system
Alongside the standard 12-volt vehicle electrical system, the 48-volt vehicle electrical system is an additional system that enables mild hybridisation of the drive train. Drive concepts are called mild hybrids when an electric motor supports the internal combustion engine, the power of which is not sufficient, however, to drive the vehicle alone. 48-volt vehicle electrical systems are currently mainly integrated in modern high-end passenger cars.
Control units
Control units are electronic modules which enable a variety of functions in modern vehicles.
Infotainment
The term “infotainment system” is used to describe a system of components that offer a range of comfort and safety functions. These include radio, multimedia, navigation and connectivity functions. “Infotainment” is a portmanteau of the words “information” and “entertainment”. Infotainment systems are intended to either relieve, inform or entertain the driver.

Throttle valve
In general terms, the throttle valve must regulate the air or mixture supply for the combustion engine. Depending on the engine concept, this serves different purposes. In the case of petrol engines...
Throttle valve sensor
Throttle valve sensors are attached to the throttle valve axle. They capture the opening angle of the throttle valve and forward this information to the engine control unit as an electrical signal. The engine...

Tyre pressure monitoring system
Tyre pressure monitoring systems (TPMS) measure the tyre pressure or record changes in pressure over time. The driver is presented with this information on the instrument panel. A distinction is made between direct and indirect TPMS.
