While the car is on the move, the electric drive itself converts kinetic energy into electric current in
deceleration mode and during braking and feeding this energy into the battery.
While the car is on the move, the system converts kinetic energy into electric current in
deceleration mode and during braking, feeding this energy into the lithium - ion battery, which is located underfloor.
While the car is on the move, the electric drive itself contributes to a favourable energy balance through recuperation, by converting kinetic energy into electric current in
deceleration mode and during braking and feeding this energy into the battery.
i - ELOOP also achieves better gas mileage by disengaging the energy sapping alternator during acceleration, i - ELOOP is an innovative use of existing alternator waste energy in
deceleration mode, which can happen more frequently than regenerative braking, common in hybrid cars.

There's not much battery regenerative
deceleration in the default
mode, yet the drivetrain doesn't feel disconnected and the action of the regenerative brakes is very linear.
Shift paddles let you select four different driving
modes: (1) automatic for unobtrusive performance; (2) minimal brake regeneration for highway cruising; (3) maximum brake regeneration for optimal off - throttle
deceleration in traffic and during sporting driving; and (4) an automated
mode with radar - optimized cruise control to apply the brakes when slow traffic is sensed ahead.
Depending on the

deceleration.
In coasting
mode, the engine in the new 7 Series freewheels on

It comes with a battery degeneration
mode which utilizes the
deceleration phases to charge the batteries.
Under acceleration the mild hybrid system provides up to 10kW of electric power assistance to the powertrain in «motor»
mode, while in «generator»

deceleration and braking and uses the power to recharge the batteries.
The diesel - electric powertrain concept, which was previewed at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show, enables the Optima T - Hybrid show car to be driven in electric - only
mode at low speeds and when cruising, with
deceleration serving to recharge the battery pack.
Upon
deceleration in Dynamic
mode (this
mode includes sharper throttle response and more incisive gearshift logic), a controlled fuel supply creates what Land Rover calls a «characterful crackle» through the exhaust.
Eco
mode widens the range at which the regeneration system is active, which results in slightly more aggressive
deceleration and braking feel.
Still, there are enhancements for the 2015 model year, including a standard backup camera and leather - wrapped steering wheel, a new «Brake» drive
mode on the gearshift that increases regenerative braking during
deceleration, a light in the charging port and the ability to unlock its little door from the key fob, as well as an available energy - saving hybrid heater system.
All - electric
mode is enabled during startup and low - to medium - speed cruising by using the clutches to disengage the engine; the system also contributes to the improvement of fuel economy by increasing energy regeneration using the clutches to disengage the engine during
deceleration.
Thus, the new M5 will be equipped with engine start - stop capability, brake energy regeneration (this is when the alternator works overtime to charge the battery on
deceleration to minimize alternator drag when the car is in cruise and acceleration
modes), and a variable flow oil pump.
Engine off at idle Low - speed, electric - only propulsion Cutting off fuel to the engine during vehicle
deceleration Regenerative braking Energy - efficient accessory systems Unlike single -
mode hybrid technology found in competitors» SUVs, the two -
mode system maximizes city and highway fuel economy by integrating two electric continuously variable
modes with four fixed mechanical gear ratios.
The transmission uses flex - lockup control and
deceleration control when decelerating while in D
mode, using as many gears as possible and extending the fuel cutout for maximum efficiency.
In «generator»
mode, the system harvests kinetic energy from the vehicle during in - gear
deceleration and braking and uses the power to recharge the batteries.
Kia's mild hybrid system will enable a car to be driven in an electric - only
mode at low speeds and when cruising, while the battery is recharged under
deceleration at all speeds.
In M
mode, the driver experiences the feel of a manual transmission, specifically the immediate G - forces during acceleration and
deceleration.
It can also operate with the combustion engine only or in hybrid
mode; in the
deceleration phases, it recovers power and activates both the engine and the electric motor together when accelerating quickly.
This assistance takes three forms: electrically motored creep at startup, light power assist during acceleration, and light electric
mode during
deceleration.
