Automotive starter motors are vital electrical devices that initiate internal combustion engines by drawing significant current. Conversely, alternators produce alternating current to charge a vehicle's battery, powering its electrical systems.
The primary product variations in this domain include electric and gear reduction starter motors. Electric starter motors serve to reliably engage and disengage an engine. Various technological iterations exist, including belt-driven and integrated starter generator (ISG) systems, along with direct start mechanisms. They come in different power outputs, ranging from 1.0 KW to 3.0 KW, 3.0 KW to 5.0 KW, and above 5.0 KW. These systems cater to different vehicle types, encompassing internal combustion engines (ICE), hybrids, and others, and are distributed through diverse sales channels, including original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and the aftermarket.
