HRB Hydrostatic Regenerative Braking System - Hydraulic Hybrid from Rexroth

Hydraulic hybrid from Rexroth reduces fuel consumption by up to 25 percent

The HRB hydraulic hybrid drive from Rexroth reduces fuel consumption and CO2 emissions from heavy commercial vehicles by up to 25 percent. Brake wear is also reduced by up to 50 percent. After successful field testing in Berlin and New York HRB is now going into series production.

Efficient reuse of braking energy:
The basic idea of the HRB Hydrostatic Regenerative Braking system is to convert kinetic energy generated during braking into hydraulic energy and storing it instead of letting it go to waste. When the vehicle then accelerates again the stored energy is fed to the travel drive, thereby unburdening the combustion engine.
The hydraulic hybrid drive from Rexroth realizes its full savings potential especially in heavy vehicles that brake often and intensively. The harder the braking, the greater the possible reduction in fuel consumption provided by HRB.

HRB facts at a glance:
- Fuel savings up to 25 percent
- Reduced harmful emissions
- Brake wear reduced by up to 50 percent
- Less brake dust
- Storage of large amounts of energy in a short time for nearly complete recovery of the braking energy
- Rugged, low-maintenance accumulator
- Rapid release of the stored energy to the drive train for effective load reduction on the drive engine
- More economical total cost of ownership
