The rechargeable hybrid technology combines two sources of energy: that of the petrol engine and that of the electric motor, which drive the front wheels (traction).

The engine and the motor can operate alternately or simultaneously, according to the driving mode selected and the driving conditions.

The electric power alone provides the mobility of the vehicle in Electric mode, and in Hybrid mode in case of moderate demand. It assists the petrol engine during starting and acceleration phases.

The electric power is supplied by a rechargeable traction battery.
