MARUTI SUZUKI'S SMART HYBRID SYSTEM
The Smart Hybrid Vehicle System (SHVS) involves a large starter motor. This starter Motor functions as a normal starter motor while cranking the engine. During braking, the circuit is altered to make the same starter motor to act as a generator. The power losses during the braking are hence regenerated and stored in a battery. This power can later be used, either for auxiliary systems or to generate extra torque while accelerating. The extra torque delivery is through the same starter motor. If the driver demands a surplus power delivery through sudden and full throttle positioning, then the energy stored in the battery is used delivered at the starter motor. The starter motor now acts as a motor, rising the power delivery at the flywheel. This is the working principle of SHVS. All of this happens without the intervention of the driver.
