There is a clear trend towards Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEV) due to the environmental concerns. On the other hand, with increasing hotel and ancillary loads and replacement of more engine driven mechanical and hydraulic loads with electrical loads, automotive systems are becoming more electric. This is the concept of More Electric Cars (MEC) which necessitates going to a higher voltage such as 42V for conventional cars. Can the evaluation of the 42V MEC smoothly lead to the Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEV) and More Electric Hybrid Vehicles (MEHV)? In this paper, we investigate the feasibility of 42V & 14+42V electrical power systems for MEHV. Technical issues of such a solution are explored in detail.
