The beauty of Hybrid technology is its efficient use of energy. Especially impressive is the ability of the Chrysler Aspen Hybrid to harness energy that would normally be wasted during driving, and work it back into the system with regenerative braking. When the Chrysler Aspen Hybrid is idling slowly, or when the driver lifts his/ her foot off the accelerator, energy is produced and used to recharge the battery pack. In addition, the electric motor, which propels the vehicle forward, generates electricity when the brakes are applied. This energy is stored and used to accelerate the vehicle during stop-and-go traffic and to assist the gas engine — when necessary — for top fuel-efficiency[1].
