Transportation - Kinetic Energy Recovery Systems for HGVs
An electric motor/generator is fitted to the truck's drivetrain. During braking, this machine acts as a generator, slowing the vehicle and sending electricity to be stored in graphene ultra-capacitors. During acceleration, this machine acts as a motor, drawing electricity from the ultra-capacitors and providing power to accelerate the vehicle, significantly reducing fuel consumption.
