    Car companies don’t wanna use this for passenger cars coz electricity. Normal cars use gasoline engine to generate electricity and passenger in the car can use electric appliances without worrying they are running out of electric power.But, for this series hydraulic hybrid, gasoline engine usually is shut off because most of the time the system use the kinetic energy from braking that stored in the reservoir. In short, this system is efficient for vehicles that make frequent stop like ups truck.
