i-ELOOP efficiently converts kinetic energy into electricity during deceleration, which is stored in capacitors and then used to power the vehicle's electric equipment, reducing engine load and improving fuel economy by as much as 10%. At less than 0.4 seconds, i-stop achieves the world's fastest diesel engine restart time.

Hydraulic pumps and a lightweight accumulator store braking energy and use the stored energy to power the wheels. The application of this technology will result in improved emissions, less fuel use, longer brake life, better low-end torque, and lower maintenance and operational costs.

Official fuel economy testing for all vehicles is conducted on chassis dynamometers, which are basically treadmills for cars and trucks. One subtlety of chassis dynamometer testing is that vehicle fuel economy measurements using decades-old standard speed profiles may be overly optimistic compared to today’s average on-road fuel use.

a high air-to-fuel ratio) SIDI (e.g., gasoline) engines, with a higher charge mass and higher temperature spread, can deliver improved thermal efficiency and better fuel economy. Each has drawbacks, noted GM’s Wei Li in a presentation at the recent Department of Energy DEER conference in Dearborn, Michigan.

Based on the same draft EPA methodology, the Volt would also deliver “ triple-digit ” combined cycle fuel economy along with combined cycle electricity consumption of 25 kWh/100 miles, according to GM. EPA labels are a yardstick for customers to compare a vehicles’ fuel efficiency. GM CEO Fritz Henderson.
