When the driver brakes, a traction motor on one of the axles slows the vehicle, generating electricity at the same time. Useable stored energy is 1.2MJ, with peak power of 120kW. The motor is a three-phase permanent magnet motor. This electricity is used to charge the flywheel, spinning it at up to 36,000 rpm.
