i-ELOOP (short for “intelligent Energy Loop”) uses a supercapacitor to store electricity recovered during deceleration to power the vehicle’s electrical systems, thereby improving fuel economy. By freeing up this engine capacity, i-ELOOP increases fuel economy under everyday urban driving conditions. High Power.
