The 48-volt electrical system in the Audi A8 is used to power a number of advanced features in the car such as the active suspension, active roll stabilization and electrically driven turbocharger. This system allows for faster and more efficient operation compared to a standard 12-volt system.

In the Audi A8, the 48-volt electrical system is also essential for powering the mild hybrid system. This system utilizes energy from braking and deceleration to power the car's electric motor, providing a boost in acceleration and reducing fuel consumption.

Along with powering advanced features and the mild hybrid system, the 48-volt electrical system also supports the automatic start-stop function in the Audi A8. This means the car's engine will turn off when idling to save fuel and reduce emissions.
