BMW 3: Introduction

Adaptive recuperation is used in the G20 PHEV. Here, the application and extent of coasting recuperation (and the resulting vehicle deceleration) is adapted intelligently and depending on the traffic situation and the stretch of road. The function decides automatically whether the vehicle coasts or regenerates power (recuperates).

In this way, the driver is supported in anticipatory driving and energy recuperation is optimized.

Furthermore, comfort is enhanced by the reduced number of brake pedal operations.

Adaptive recuperation is not a separate item of optional equipment. It is available as a function in the HYBRID ECO PRO driving mode.

Functional principle

The aim of adaptive recuperation is to use the vehicle's kinetic energy appropriately for the situation and thus more intelligently. The traffic situation in front of the vehicle and the stretch of road ahead are evaluated for this purpose. The following events are taken into consideration:

Traffic situation in front of the vehicle

Evaluation of the traffic situation in front of the vehicle is effected, depending on the equipment specification, via the respective variant of the KAFAS camera and the front radar sensor.
