Powerstream (http://www.powerstream.com) makes a dc/dc converter that, 
if I understand it correctly, can take 8-48 V in and put out 2-80 V.  
I've never used one but they make it sound like you can program the 
output voltage.  The price isn't exactly low, but 12 V to 48 V seems to 
be much less common than the other way round unless you find a surplus 
unit or something like that.  The only experience I have with their 
products is two 24 V to 12 V converters from them for use in a surplus 
military truck.  I don't have all that many hours of use to judge their 
reliability.
