Hybrid Driving Tips
 |
1
Hybrid Technology- Efficiency
Driving a Hybrid at lower speed (less than 50kph) will give you best efficiency results. On the open road reach your desired speed briskly, then ease off the accelerator.

2
Hybrid Technology – Brake gently
Lightly pressing the brake pedal allows you to recover energy and recharge the battery. Heavy braking uses the mechanical brakes, converting the precious energy into heat. |

3
Exception - driving a Hybrid or a vehicle with regenerative braking
You benefit driving a hybrid in stop-start driving conditions, this is because the engine switches off when you stop.
Some hybrids and advanced petrol/diesel vehicles have regenerative braking, this means you brake, the energy that is usually lost as heat is converted into electrical energy that is stored for later use. |
