The micro-hybrids will be benefited due to the reduction in battery drain and power consumption, and increase in light output at the time of startups and low power mode. Electric vehicles that depend fully on stored power from batteries are benefited the most.

The Product Marketing Manager and Automotive Lighting Engineer at OSRAM SYLVANIA, Jonathan Dunlap spoke with respect to an SAE paper on LED and power consumption of exterior vehicle lighting. He added that the trend based on the paper, written in 2008, is taking its shape now.

In the future, automobiles will be reinvented to fulfill the new fuel economy standards. In addition, the vehicles will get a high efficacy change as efficient lighting systems, low-rolling resistance tires, hybrid powertrains and downsized turbocharged engines.
