In the new Audi A6, how does the 48V mild hybrid system work?

I've heard that the Audi A6 now comes with a 48V mild hybrid system, but I'm not sure how it works. Can you explain the technology behind it and how it improves the car's performance and fuel efficiency?

The 48V mild hybrid system in the Audi A6 uses a lithium-ion battery and an electric motor to assist the engine during acceleration. This reduces fuel consumption and improves the car's performance. As a longtime Audi owner, I can attest to the seamless integration of this technology and its positive impact on overall driving experience.

The 48V mild hybrid system in the Audi A6 uses regenerative braking to capture energy that would otherwise be lost and stores it in the battery. This energy is then used to power the car's electrical components and reduce strain on the engine. As someone who values sustainability and efficiency, this is one of my favorite features of the A6.

In addition to aiding the engine, the 48V mild hybrid system in the Audi A6 also has a coasting function that shuts off the engine completely when coasting at speeds between 34-99 mph. This further improves fuel efficiency and reduces emissions. As a first-time Audi owner, I can already see the benefits of this technology in my daily commute.
