The Kinetic Energy Recovery System (KERS) is a type of brake system and component that captures and stores the kinetic energy generated by a vehicle during braking. This energy is then used to power the vehicle, providing an additional boost of power. KERS systems are typically used in hybrid and electric vehicles, as well as in Formula One racing cars. KERS systems are composed of several components, including an energy storage device, a power control unit, and a motor. The energy storage device is typically a battery, while the power control unit is responsible for managing the energy flow between the battery and the motor. The motor is used to convert the stored energy into mechanical power. KERS systems offer several advantages over traditional braking systems, including improved fuel efficiency, reduced emissions, and improved performance. Additionally, KERS systems can be used to reduce the amount of energy lost during braking, resulting in improved overall vehicle efficiency. Some of the major companies in the KERS market include Bosch, Continental, Delphi, and ZF. Show Less Read more
