A
starter generator is a device that has two functions - it can start an engine by giving it the initial power needed for ignition, and it can also generate electricity to power various components in the vehicle.

The engines are said to be 20 percent more economical, not least thanks to the new 48 - volt electrical architecture with 15
kW starter generator.
There is also a 48 - volt belt -
integrated starter generator that starts the combustion engine and provides an electric boost to increase torque on startup.
The engine can be synched with motor speed through a combination of torque demand from the
hybrid starter generator as well as engine rpm control (unless the engine has started switching from HEV to EV mode and decoupling and shutting down).
The vehicle features a zero - emissions stop - start system, and a new belt -
driven starter generator replaces the conventional alternator, meaning the engine can restart with almost no noise or vibration.
The current models showcase how automotive technology will look in the near future: the Corsa Hybrid concept car uses innovative technology
with starter generator and stop / start automatic transmission which contributes to an average consumption of about 3,75 liters of diesel per 100 km (99 g CO2 / km).
New six - cylinder with electric auxiliary compressor for the Mercedes S - Class The new straight - six - cylinder petrol engines also have an integrated
starter generator as well as an electrically driven belt chain and compressor.
For the first time, the 48 - volt electrical system is introduced and
starter generators replace the conventional alternator and the starter.
The G63 will be the range - topper with 602 hp and 367 lb - ft of torque, and a model fitted with Mercedes - Benz's new M256 turbocharged 3.0 - liter in - line six - cylinder gasoline unit in combination with an integrated
starter generator providing mild hybrid qualities will follow.
For the first time at Volkswagen, the Group's TDI four - cylinder engines will also be available in conjunction with hybrid systems; the EA288 Evo will start as a mild hybrid drive with 12V belt
starter generator in its first use.
During braking, efficient recuperation using the 20 - kW - strong
starter generator quickly recharges the battery to ensure that the vehicle can regularly be driven under electric power.
The Optima Hybrid has an upgraded hybrid system with a more powerful electric motor and battery, as well as a stronger
hybrid starter generator.
The engine is started (and stopped) using a water - cooled belt -
driven starter generator, and the system allows engine - off coasting for up to 45 seconds at a time.
Powered by the EQ
Boost starter generator, it's responsible for a number of features: it boosts charge pressure in the engine before the exhaust gas turbocharger can get up to speed, minimizing turbo lag, as well as delivering hybrid - like functions such as a gliding mode to cut gas consumption when the car is coasting.
While there is no difference in the diesel engine either, it now gets
Integrated Starter Generator (ISG), larger battery and braking energy recuperation.

The Starter Generator has enough starters for you to shake a stick at.
Other key components include an electric air - conditioning compressor, integrated
starter generator, regenerative braking, a 30 kW electric motor, and a hybrid power control unit.
The SHVS hybrid model uses an integrated
starter generator to both start and stop the engine, and recuperate energy under deceleration.
This mild hybrid setup uses an integrated
starter generator to feed energy to a small battery mounted under the passenger seat, which can then be fed back into the drivetrain for gentle assistance in certain situations.
Mercedes calls the integrated
starter generator «EQ Boost» and in addition to providing power it allows the new CLS to accelerate without the combustion engine at all in certain situations.
The combined maximum power from the petrol engine, the electric motors and the Integrated
Starter Generator (ISG) is 600 hp and a torque of 1000 Nm.
The Optima Hybrid's powertrain uses a 2.0 L GDI four - cylinder coupled with a hybrid
starter generator and tied to a six - speed transmission.
In addition to these electric motors the Polestar 1 is equipped with an Integrated
Starter Generator (ISG), this adds 34 kW (46 hp) and 150 Nm of torque.
Launched under Kia's EcoDynamics environmentally friendly sub-brand, the 2017 Optima Hybrid features a new 154 hp 2.0 - liter GDI four - cylinder gasoline engine, a hybrid
starter generator, and a six - speed automatic transmission.
It is essentially a direct - injection turbocharged petrol engine that is expected to deliver a good balance of performance and fuel economy, with additional help coming from the ISG (Integrated
Starter Generator).
The eighth generation VW Golf will combine a conventional engine with a 48 - volt belt - integrated
starter generator and a 48 - volt battery.
Even a mild hybrid with
a starter generator can be easily installed in the transmission regardless of installation space.
Producing 218hp, plus the support of an Integrated
Starter Generator, the Polestar 1 in Pure mode, is a rear wheel drive Electric performance car with up to 150 km of range.
However, courtesy of the EQ Boost
starter generator, the AMG E 53 Sedan can add a further 184 lb - ft.
Then there's the new belt - driven
starter generator that replaces the conventional alternator.
Enhanced Hybrid Performance Targeting a 10 percent increase in fuel economy, the Optima Hybrid replaces the previous generation's 2.4 - liter engine with an efficient and compact 2.0 - liter GDI four cylinder — estimated at 154 horsepower — coupled with a hybrid
starter generator and tied to an upgraded, smooth - shifting six - speed transmission.
Apart from the 1.3 - litre Fiat Multijet diesel engine producing 89bhp of power and 200Nm of torque, the car gets a larger battery, regenerative braking and Integrated
Starter Generator (ISG).
