Mild Hybrid

Mild hybrid use a petrol engine to power the wheels with a lithium battery providing support. Stop-start technology increases efficiency by shutting the engine off when the car is coasting, or when lifting the foot off the pedal at speeds under 11 mph on automatic transmission, reducing tailpipe emissions and running costs.
