«Being able to provide electric boost to the powertrain system during heavy acceleration and grade driving enables the LaCrosse transmission to operate more efficiently, while the added functionality of engine start - stop and fuel shut - off
during deceleration provides added fuel savings.»
Not exact matches
In addition to
providing supplemental motive power, the IMA motor acts as a generator
during deceleration and braking to recapture kinetic energy and recharge the IMA's battery pack
during regenerative braking.
Since the electric motor, which also acts as an electric generator, is attached directly to the crankshaft of the engine, the engine needs to
provide as little resistance as possible
during deceleration to allow the generator to produce high levels of electricity and charge the batteries.
The system also features automatic engine shut - off when the vehicle is stopped, plus aggressive fuel cut - off
during deceleration down to zero vehicle speed, which is enabled by the torque smoothing
provided by the induction motor - generator unit.
Regenerative braking, which
provides up to 15 kW of electricity to charge the battery
Providing up to 15 hp (11 kW) of electric power assistance

during deceleration down to zero mph for added fuel savings Intelligent charge / discharge of the high - voltage battery.
Under acceleration the mild hybrid system
provides up to 10kW of electric power assistance to the powertrain in «motor» mode, while 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.
Shutting off the engine when the vehicle is stopped, to minimize idling Restarting the engine promptly when the brake pedal is released Enabling early fuel shut - off
during vehicle
deceleration Capturing vehicle kinetic energy
during deceleration through regenerative braking to charge the advanced nickel metal hydride battery Performing intelligent battery charging when it is most efficient The new GM Hybrid system
provides additional power, when required,
during launch from the electric motor / generator.

For 2008, a new generation of VCM
provides the additional capability to selectively deactivate either two or three of the engine's six cylinders
during cruising and
deceleration (instead of three, exclusively).
The engine has an aggressive fuel shut - off
during deceleration that
provides added fuel savings.
It can also
provide cylinder deactivation
during deceleration and an idle - stop feature when the vehicle is stationary.
The GM Hybrid system
provides start - stop functionality, early fuel shut - off
during deceleration, regenerative braking and intelligent battery charging.
