The i-ELOOP system suppresses engine load used for generating power and improves
driveability and fuel economy by generating electricity with the kinetic energy that is
generated when the vehicle slows down by applying the brakes or during engine braking.
Stores large amounts of electricity instantly and efficiently uses the electricity for electrical
devices and accessories.
