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.
The batteries are automatically
recharged by the car's gasoline engine or by the car's own rolling power
during deceleration, eliminating the need to connect the car to an outside power source.
The electric motor switches into hybrid operation and serves as either a secondary engine (
during full acceleration and hill - climbing) or a generator (
during cruising and
deceleration) to
recharge the battery pack as necessary.
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.
During deceleration, the electric traction motor captures the kinetic energy to
recharge the battery.
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.
