tery (traction battery) is added to that of the gasoline engine via the electric
motor (traction motor).
◆
When braking (regenerative braking)
The wheels operate the electric motor (traction motor) as a power generator,
and the hybrid battery (traction battery) is charged.

tion force can be obtained in conjunction with the recharging of the hybrid battery (trac-
tion battery).
