[15] The Delhi Metro reduced the amount of carbon dioxide (CO 2) released into the atmosphere by around 90,000 tons by regenerating 112,500 megawatt hours of electricity through the use
of regenerative braking systems between 2004 and 2007.
The only other non-hybrid, non-diesel midsize sedan that can beat 39 mpg is the Mazda6, which gets 40 mpg highway when it's equipped with the i -
ELOOP regenerative braking system.
In China, fleets of hybrid diesel buses are equipped with ultracapacitors that charge up swiftly
from regenerative braking systems, and later accelerate the bus until the diesel engine can take over.
In the video, GM product chief Mark Reuss takes a heavily camouflaged 2016 Chevrolet Volt (an earlier teaser photo of the car is shown above) for a test drive around a track, where he explains the next -
generation regenerative braking system.
Like many other new electrified vehicles, the Kona Electric packs an adjustable
regenerative braking system hidden in the shift paddles, which generates a few extra electrons for the battery when slowing down.
Regenerative Braking The CT6 PHEV will feature iBooster and Electronic Stability Program tailored for hybrid electric vehicle regenerative blended braking to provide maximum energy recovery combined with reduced stopping distance and improved fuel economy over
traditional regenerative braking systems.
To help maximise range, Renault has cooked up a three - part system called Range OptimiZEr, which includes a new and more
efficient regenerative braking system when compared to the one in the Fluence, a heat pump that compresses and so heats air to warm the cabin, and new low - resistance Michelin EV tyres.
The Leaf's braking response is smooth and predictable, and that's a big deal; in some alternative - fuel cars, brake - pedal feel is half - baked, with the traditional friction brakes and
regenerative braking system not well - synchronized.
New for 2006, a
cooperative regenerative braking system debuts on the Civic Hybrid with the added capability to intelligently proportion braking power between the hydraulic brakes and the electric motor to extract even more electricity from the vehicle's kinetic energy.
Other technologies, including an exhaust heat recovery system, a lighter and more efficient power control unit underhood and a
revised regenerative braking system help boost the Accord Hybrid's efficiency.
Braking is firm and sure, though, and while the Mirai's rather
mild regenerative braking system won't let you slow the car almost to a dead stop without applying the brake pedal (as is the case with some electric cars), it also won't alarm you with an abrupt jerk when you lift off the accelerator pedal.
It the paddles are not used, the Cadillac ELR still uses its automatic
blended regenerative braking system that will recapture a majority of the vehicles energy while stopping.
The only real downside, in fact, is the vague brake pedal brought about by the
variable regenerative braking system — though it is a quirk you'll learn to adapt to over the initial ownership period.
I wasn't sure, but the upshot is that when in this position, the EV's
regenerative braking system became more aggressive, shaving speed more quickly when the accelerator pedal was lifted rather than coasting.
Motor / generator belt tensioner; drive motor dampener; voltage inverter reservoir; three - phase high voltage cables; hydraulic or
electric regenerative braking system; seals and gaskets.
In addition to Mazda's SKYACTIV technology, the 2014 Mazda 6 also offers a unique «i - ELOOP»
regenerative braking system aimed at fuel economy, and Smart City Brake Support, a collision - avoidance / mitigation system that detects forward obstructions and sounds a warning.
The trick is to anticipate stops and slowdowns and lightly apply the brakes well in advance, which uses the car's
regenerative braking system only, thereby feeding the battery and saving wear and tear on the pads.
And Delphi's vision is that vehicles with 48 - volt systems would also have a
strong regenerative braking system to capture much of the energy lost when a vehicle slows down.
Whether you're using Eco Pro or not, the BMW 320i is able to take advantage of its
EfficientDynamics regenerative braking system to recapture braking energy to charge the battery (located in the trunk where it helps toward the 50/50 weight distribution).
