 Why Use Regenerative Braking?
Energy Crisis
62.5% of energy is wasted through frequent braking in town driving
23% improvement in fuel consumption
Smaller Accessories
Emissions reduction

 How Does Regenerative Braking
Work?
Regular brakes waste large amounts of useable energy
Regenerative Braking systems use the engine to harness this energy
When slowing down, the engine switches to reverse mode
The kinetic energy from the engine is transferred to the battery

 World-Wide Impact
20% of world's energy use from transportation
40% of that energy from urban transit
Can increase the range of a car by over 10%
Rising cost of fuel, carbon emissions and desire for
extended driving range is leading to a rise in this
technology
