HOW DOES IT WORK?
Flywheel & Radiator
In a conventional mechanical driveline
When the driver brakes, a traction motor on one of the axles retards the

the traction motor helping to accelerate the vehicle.
Power Electronics

being burnt off in a resistor bank or hydraulic retarder, the power is used
directly to charge the flywheel.
POTENTIAL CONFIGURATION
PARALLEL HYBRID
Kinetic energy re-used
Diesel engine sized
for peak performance
SERIES HYBRID
Engine sized for average
Peak power demands met
Kinetic energy re-used
Greater fuel saving
Savings in engine,
power use
from flywheel
transmission and driveline
costs offset system costs
