WHAT IS A THRUST OPERATION?

QUITE SIMPLY EXPLAINED

Back to overview

This is a driving condition in which the engine is not separated from the drive train, but is towed by the vehicle, i.e. remains in rotary motion.

In start-stop, electric and especially hybrid cars, the energy released during overrun is used to charge the batteries. This applies to the 12V starter battery and the Li-Ion high-voltage battery.

 

Today, almost all modern vehicles have a so-called overrun cut-off. This means that in overrun mode, the fuel supply is automatically stopped, thus reducing consumption to zero. It is a very effective system for saving CO2 and fuel!

 

PS: Only when the engine speed drops below a certain value is some fuel added again.

Why is the lead-acid battery so relevant for electric cars?

When people think of electric cars, they first think of the lithium-ion traction battery, but it is often overlooked that (almost) every electric car is also equipped with a 12V lead-acid on-board power supply battery.

Is the 12V starter and on-board electrical system battery in a hybrid car also charged in electric driving mode?

Here is our answer to a question that's been asked frequently of late. Because when it comes to environmental protection alone, hybrid cars are generally always an alternative to consider compared to conventional petrol or diesel vehicles. The integrated electric motor requires far less fuel and further reduces CO2 emissions.
