The T&C will use a 2.4-liter, inline four-cylinder gasoline engine that will share motivation duties with a 117 cc engine pump, a 45 cc drive electric motor and a two-speed automatic transmission. The hydraulic fluid will be stored in a 14.4-gallon high pressure accumulator that can get up to 5,000 psi. If there's enough energy in the accumulator, the motor will shut down until it's needed again. If it all works as advertised, then overall fuel economy will be improved around 30-35 percent, while city miles per gallon will be improved by up to 60 percent.
