Hard braking can cause the system to rely on conventional friction braking, wasting energy that might otherwise be recovered.

Not exact matches

This contrasts with conventional braking systems, where the excess kinetic energy is converted to unwanted and wasted heat by friction in the brakes, or with dynamic brakes, where energy is recovered by using electric motors as generators but is immediately dissipated as heat in resistors.

With the conventional systems, the interventions are based on the reduction of the engine torque and the generation of friction braking torques on specific wheels.

On the way down, in a conventional car, you lose all that energy — it just [disappears] out the window or to your brake shoes, to friction.
