Not exact matches

Turning off the engine when idling, making sure tires are properly inflated, coasting to red lights rather than slamming on the brakes and slowly accelerating from a stop — all can boost fuel efficiency as evidenced by hypermilers, those who have mastered the art of traveling hundreds of miles on a few gallons of gas.

Once you've learned proper breathing technique, things begin to get really interesting, because you'll have a newfound power that not only vastly improves your training efficiency and focus, but also controls how much cortisol your body releases during a workout by «putting the brakes» on your sympathetic nervous system while you're exercising.

All the more so when you consider Ferrari has gone one stage further than Porsche by using the brakes for harvesting regenerative energy even during moments of ABS intervention for absolute efficiency.

As you expect from modern Porsches, the stopping efficiency provided by the carbon - ceramic brakes (16.1 inches in front, 15.3 in the rear) is astounding and consistent, yanking the car down from 175 mph on the front straight to about 65 mph into Turn 1 with exceptional stability and zero drama.

When braking, energy that is normally lost is recaptured by the Regenerative Braking System to charge the lithium - ion battery, which helps improve the efficiency of the hybrid powertrain.

If the decline in efficiency is accompanied by the vehicle pulling to one side, the brake system should be inspected immediately.

Smart Regenerative Charging, which boosts fuel efficiency by engaging the alternator primarily under coasting and braking, has been deployed.

It's in having an all - electric powertrain so you can get the efficiencies of regenerative braking that gas - electric hybrids enjoy without the moving parts and the inefficiencies imposed by a Carnot - Cycle engine.

Designed to optimize steering, traction, lane changes and braking efficiency, the tires are specifically designed to respond to the dynamic behavior induced by the Lamborghini Rear - wheel Steering, ensuring handling consistency and driver feedback.

The new Brake Assistant and the pre-loading function on the brakes significantly improves the overall quality and efficiency of the brake system: As soon as it detects application of the brakes in an emergency by means of information provided by the hydraulic PSM control unit, the Brake Assistant builds up the brake pressure required for maximum stopping power.

The IMA system adds a 12kW electric motor to the Accord's gasoline engine to provide additional torque when needed and to increase overall energy efficiency by recapturing energy from deceleration and braking, which is then stored in the nickel - metal - hydride battery.

Researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory have used on - board catalytic fuel reforming to increase the brake efficiency of a multicylinder, stoichiometric spark - ignited (SI) engine by increasing EGR dilution tolerance.

Capturing part of the energy lost to braking is by far the biggest factor for both hybrids and also an electric vehicle's impressive efficiency.

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.
