The DIWAhybrid parallel system relies on the tried and tested DIWA transmission. A low-loss asynchronous electric motor supports the diesel engine during start-up and acceleration. When the driver applies the brakes, the electric motor functions as a generator. Then, it works as a primary retarder that supplements the DIWA secondary retarder to its full capacity.
You benefit from reduced wear on your brakes, and the environment is burdened with less particulate matter. The energy recovered during the braking process is stored in high-performance capacitors, called "supercaps".
