TNCSjärjestelmä

TNCSjärjestelmä refers to the combined starter and generator system used in some vehicles, specifically those equipped with internal combustion engines. The name is derived from its core components: Traction, Combined, Starter, and Generator. In this system, a single electric motor unit performs both the function of starting the internal combustion engine and acting as a generator to recharge the vehicle's battery. This integration aims to improve fuel efficiency and reduce emissions by allowing for more sophisticated engine start-stop functionality and electric assistance during acceleration. The TNCSjärjestelmä is often associated with mild-hybrid vehicle architectures, where it provides a degree of electrification without the full capabilities of a more powerful hybrid system. The system typically operates in conjunction with the vehicle's battery pack and power electronics to manage the flow of energy. Its implementation contributes to a smoother driving experience, particularly in stop-and-go traffic, by enabling quicker and more seamless engine restarts. The development and adoption of such integrated systems are part of the automotive industry's ongoing efforts to meet increasingly stringent environmental regulations and consumer demand for more efficient vehicles.
