| powertrain boosting torque boosting Explanation: not sure if it's this hybrid type? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrid_vehicle_drivetrain "Mild hybrids are sometimes called Power assist hybrids' as they use the engine for primary power, with a torque-boosting electric motor also connected to a largely conventional power train. The electric motor, mounted between the engine and transmission, is essentially a very large starter motor, which operates not only when the engine needs to be turned over, but also when the driver "steps on the gas" and requires extra power. The electric motor may also be used to re-start the combustion engine, deriving the same benefits from shutting down the main engine at idle, while the enhanced battery system is used to power accessories.[citation needed]GM is going to produce Buick LaCrosse and [Buick Regal] mild hybrids dubbed Eassist. and this seems to be about the "start-stop" "Another way to provide for shutting off a car's engine when it is stopped, then immediately restarting it when it's time to go, is by employing a static start engine. Such an engine requires no starter motor, but employs sensors to determine the exact position of each piston, then precisely timing the injection and ignition of fuel to turn over the engine..." |
