Sentences with phrase «brake regeneration using»

Not exact matches

The brake pads tend to last longer because regeneration relieves them of the typical degree of use.

The Leaf uses traditional, hybrid - style regenerative braking, where the brake pedal actually modulates the regeneration and the braking rate, giving the sensation of regular braking.

All models also have Auto Start / Stop, which shuts off the engine when waiting at stoplights — starting quickly when the brake is released; and Brake Energy Regeneration essentially saves fuel by using the alternator smartly.

Turbocharging has meant improvements in fuel efficiency, along with technology like brake energy regeneration, which uses heat and energy recuperated from the brakes to recharge the battery, a gear shift indicator and stop - start in traffic.

* Horsepower and torque expected to top previous model (testing is ongoing — check media.gm.com for updates) * NOx emissions reduced at least 63 percent over 2010 models * Quieter operation * High - pressure (30,000 psi / 2, 000 bar) Piezo - actuated fuel system for greater fuel efficiency, improved performance and reduced emissions * Exhaust brake system that enables controlled vehicle slowdown on downhill grades without actuating the brakes * Selective catalytic reduction after - treatment system using diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) injection to provide the best overall diesel characteristics and performance — with a range of about 5,000 miles (8,000 km) between DEF refills * Combustion and after - treatment have been optimized to provide about 700 miles (1,125 km) between diesel particulate filter regenerations — a 75 - percent improvement over the previous system and significant contributor to improved fuel efficiency, as the regeneration process requires additional fuel * B20 biodiesel capability for an alternative fueling option * Internal revisions that improve durability

An EV button will hold the C - HR in electric - only mode as long as possible, while B mode on the gearstick gives a greater level of regeneration under braking to top the battery up, much more than just coasting or using the brakes.

It uses a brushless electric motor mounted at the rear producing 80 hp and 96 lb - ft of torque, together with a 17.6 - kWh lithium - ion battery that can charged via plug - in electricity and brake regeneration.

As per usual for plug - in cars, brake energy recuperation is used to top up the battery under deceleration, and the gear selector can be knocked into B for stronger regeneration.

I just braked from 55 MPH down to 15 MPH in about 1/4 mile using nothing more than regeneration.

To increase brake regeneration, there is a «B» setting on the gear selector, which can be used to slow the car while also increasing the harvesting of electricity back into the battery pack.

When I used it going downhill, it did not seem to engage regeneration, so I rode the brakes, comfortable in the knowledge that instead of burning up discs and pads, the car was charging its battery.

To reduce fuel consumption, Mini will equip the Countryman with technologies such as brake regeneration, engine stop - start at idle and on - demand use of accessories.

All slowing and slower stopping can be done using the paddles, which are the more efficient regeneration option to the regenerative braking.

It knows whether it's best to coast without any resistance, or if it's wiser to use brake regeneration to give the battery a bit more juice.

HIROSHIMA, Japan — Mazda Motor Corporation has developed the world's first passenger vehicle brake energy regeneration system that uses a capacitor to power the vehicle's electrical components.

Mazda's brake energy regeneration system is unique because it uses a capacitor, which is an electrical component that temporarily stores large volumes of electricity.

Both the 428 and the 435 also come with a standard Brake Energy Regeneration system that converts braking energy to electricity, which is used to supplement that used by onboard systems.

The Accord PHEV picks up efficiency by using more lightweight aluminum panels, aerodynamic alloy wheels, brake regeneration, an aero - tuned front end, and wind - shaping plastic underbody panels.

When you ride down hill or brake, the regeneration uses the mass not only of the bike, but also of the rider (hence, bike weight + driver weight - > the heavier the rider, the better) to generate energy through the KERS - backed electric system.

Regeneration occurs when you lift off the throttle and, more energetically, upon light brake application, using the electric motor to slow the vehicle instead of the actual brakes, which blend in seamlessly as you call up more braking force.
