That’s incredible. Thanks for sharing, I hadn’t heard about this. Glad to see it implemented in humongous vehicles.
Brilliant solution to braking energy recapture. I hope it’s reliable and safe. Do you know how long UPS has been doing this? I might have missed that part, thanks.
Hope to see cars with a solution that is as efficient also. I’ve seen flywheels, but not sure it’s gained any traction.
