Electric Power Steering*
Unlike conventional, hydraulic steering
systems, electrical steering only uses energy
during actual steering. When the steering
wheel position is constant – for example at
high speed along the motorway – the
electric motor is inactive.

Brake Energy Regeneration*
5PTVQQMZBCBUUFSZXJUIFMFDUSJDBMFOFSHZ
the generator (alternator) is permanently
driven using engine power, which demands
additional fuel consumption. Brake Energy
Regeneration means the generator usually
only generates electricity when the driver
either takes the foot off the accelerator or
brakes – previously unused kinetic energy
is transformed in coasting mode into electrical
energy before being fed into the battery. In
this way, electricity is generated while
coasting, without consuming fuel.
