Mazda has unveiled a brand new capacitor-based regenerative braking system, the first in the world for any manufacturer.
Batteries used in conventional energy recovery systems take time to charge, discharge when energy is called for, and are highly prone to deterioration as their life goes on. Mazda’s capacitor-based system manages to mitigate these problems however.
The system, called i-ELOOP, means the capacitor can store large volumes of electricity almost instantly with a rapid delivery of energy available when requested.
The i-ELOOP moniker stands for ‘intelligent energy loop’ and recognises Mazda’s ‘intention to efficiently recycle energy in an intelligent way’, according to the company.
The new i-ELOOP system, in conjunction with Mazda’s SKYACTIV technology, can save up to 10% more fuel in stop-start traffic over a similar vehicle not equipped with the technology.
