Yes, it is a mild-hybrid system but one that Ram truck and Jeep buyers are OK with buying. It is also more than a start / stop system. The electric motor adds 50 lb-ft of torque - way more than needed for a stop / start system.

At the end of the day it is a cheap way to gain 10-12% in fuel economy.
