Introducing the revolutionary Smart Hybrid Technology by Maruti Suzuki. The DDiS 200 diesel engine is equipped with an Integrated Starter Generator (ISG), whose motor function improves fuel efficiency by supplementing the engine’s power. Capable of high generation output, ISG recovers energy from the car’s deceleration. The energy is stored in a high capacity battery that assists in the engine’s auto stop and start function and aids the engine during acceleration, thus reducing fuel consumption even further.

  2. Hi I have a toyota prius 2008, the dash lights came on when i was driving, and wouldnt go into gear, took it to toyota dealer and got a couple of codes, they said it might be the transaxle (gear box) or the inverter, the codes were P0AA6, C1641, and B1421,
    Th e P0AA6 (526 and 613) points to HV transaxle assy or converter inverter assy. After clearing the codes from the car its starts and drives but the lights come back on however still drives. As soon as you turn off the engine you cant start the car again as dash lights come back on, also on the internal we get the big triangle hazard lights on also there is a car logo in red with a red exclamation on the display screen. Can anyone help me and direct me to what it could be, so far weve checked the battery and changed the inverter and it hasnt resolved the issue,

  7. I wish you would have shown how to get that electrical connector off. I'm having a hell of a time. Plus moving the hose clamps are not easy breezy like it appears in the video.

  10. i don't see what issue people have with hybrids, it's electric cars that are stupid, clean-energy-vehicle they say, not if you plug it in to the mains to charge it ain't.
