the study of energy efficiency and consumption in road is one of the most important disciplines for car manufacturers. Not only as a competitive advantage, as well as market tool face show users a more friendly face in terms of environmental impact , in consumption and in the driver’s pocket.

changes in fuel injection systems and processes have allowed sofisiticación be much more efficient and less polluting cars, but there are still a lot of energy generated by a vehicle and that wasted by the way. However, Audi may have found a way to harness this energy and turn it into something useful for the car itself. Potholes

Yes, the company has developed an active suspension called Erot that is able to replace hydraulic suspension electromechanical so that, every curve and every bump in the act suspension actively is capable of inducing energy kinetic energy in the car , before being used in recharging batteries in electric cars or to feed other navigation systems.

The innovative shock absorbing system from  Audi: New technology s

This suspension system is capable of generating a energy production average of 100 to 150 watts : up to 3 watts on a highway in good condition but up to 613 watts in a secondary road with many curves or bumps

Yes, this energy is not enough to keep the car running autonomously, but it’s just they need many auxiliary systems that use it, could help reduce the average consumption of the car, especially electric.
