Dacia hybrid technologies

Get the best of both worlds without changing your habits!
How does it work?
Hybrid combines a conventional petrol engine with an electric motor that serves multiple functions.      
hybrid 155
Dacia Duster - hybrid 155
full hybrid
Composition
1 combustion engine
Clutchless multimode automatic gearbox
1 self-charging 280 V traction battery

 Charging the battery
No need to plug in, the battery charges itself as you drive using the energy recovered during braking and deceleration.
How it works
The electric motor allows 100% electric driving, and provides a power boost to the internal combustion engine the rest of the time.
It also converts the recovered energy into electricity to charge the traction battery.
The multi-mode gearbox automatically switches between 3 driving modes:
  • 100% electric
  • electric + combustion-powered
  • 100% combustion-powered.
Advantages
  • Systematic 100% electric vehicle start-ups.
  • Up to 40%* less fuel consumption and CO2 emissions than an equivalent petrol engine.
  • 80%** of all-electric city travel time.

* In urban consumption cycle
** Based on internal tests using the urban phase (low) of the WLTC (Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Cycle). % of driving time may vary depending on actual driving conditions (road type, driving style, and weather conditions    
mild hybrid 140
Dacia Duster - mild hybrid 140
mild hybrid
Composition
1 combustion engine
1 starter-alternator
1 self-charging 48V battery for on-the-road use

Charging the battery
No need to plug in, the battery charges itself as you drive using the energy recovered during braking and deceleration.
How it works
The internal combustion engine gets extra torque from the starter-generator when driving is most energy-intensive, such as starts or accelerations.
It also helps recharge the 48 V traction battery.
    Advantages
    Up to 10% less fuel consumption than an equivalent petrol engine.

    Do you have any more questions?
    What is the lifespan of the Dacia Hybrid motor battery?
    The traction battery is guaranteed for 8 years or 160,000 km for hybrid motors and 3 years (unlimited mileage) for mild hybrid motor batteries.
    Can Dacia Hybrid cars travel long distances?
    Yes. Depending on use, the driving range of a hybrid vehicle is greater than that of a combustion-powered or electric car, since you can alternate between multiple energy sources. 
    What is the Duster mild hybrid powertrain?
    It involves mild hybridisation of the vehicle, which provides assistance to the combustion engine only during starting and acceleration to reduce consumption and improve performance.
    In the specific case of the hybrid G 150 4x4 powertrain and its additional motor located on the rear axle, this hybridisation allows it to run 60% of its city driving time on full electric power*
    It therefore offers more flexible and dynamic driving while providing fuel savings compared with an equivalent non-electric petrol engine.

    How do you recharge the battery in Dacia Hybrid cars?
    It’s so easy! With hybrid vehicle batteries (full or mild hybrid), you don’t need any special connectors. They recharge automatically as you drive when the vehicle brakes or decelerates.
