Hochgraf found that in 2010, the top 10 most efficient powertrains on the city cycle all had CVTs and were hybrids. PABE characterizes the powertrain for the effect of powertrain energy conversion efficiency and for regenerative braking efficiency. PABE is affected by hybridization, by engine efficiency, by accessory loads (e.g.,
