How it works
Lightning Hybrids applies a hydraulic
system to the driveline of a vehicle to
regenerate braking energy. Hydraulic
pumps and a lightweight accumulator
store braking energy and upon acceleration use the stored energy in the
accumulator to provide torque to power
the wheels. The fuel efficiency gains are
achieved by regenerating the braking
energy that is normally wasted to heat,
and using this energy instead of the
internal combustion engine for acceleration.
Lightning Hybrids’ hydraulic hybrid system (patented in the US, patent pending in Europe and elsewhere) includes
high-efficiency hydraulic pumps, a
unique power transfer module, a lightweight accumulator system, a valve
block, and a proprietary control system.

Energy is STORED in
the form of hydraulic
pressure in the high
pressure tank
