Hybrid & Electric Vehicle Products

Delphi's Power Box is a self-contained hybrid propulsion system that combines electronic components and a lithium-ion battery to simplify electrification and assembly of mild hybrid vehicles. A drop-in solution that typically fits behind the rear seat, the system is capable of both permanent magnet and induction machine control and can be applied across multiple vehicle platforms and powertrains.
