What happens during regenerative braking?
Lexus Hybrid Drive features advanced regenerative braking technology. When you brake, the kinetic energy produced during braking is transformed into electricity by a generator in the Hybrid Transmission and then stored in the high-voltage compact battery for use later. The recapturing of energy which would otherwise be lost as heat, noise and friction can contribute to a petrol saving of around 1 litre per 100 km.
