Volvo Mild Hybrid
Smoother drive
The mild hybrid technology adds to a more refined driving experience. The engine restarts instantly and you can enjoy smoother drive from standstill.
Lower fuel consumption
The integrated starter generator actively reduces engine load for lowered fuel consumption, especially in urban driving situations.
More power
Using recuperated electric energy, the integrated starter generator boosts the combustion engine for more powerful acceleration.
A mild hybrid car - how does it work?
The mild hybrid, also known as MHEV or the integrated started generator (ISG), is a powertrain that utilizes both a combustion engine and an electric motor to minimize CO2 emissions, improve the fuel economy and provide performance benefits.
What are the benefits?
Apart from reduced fuel consumption and lower tailpipe emissions, the mild hybrid provides a more seamless and instant take-off in your vehicle. By recuperating the brake energy, your Volvo can become more efficient and provide smoother and more linear acceleration.
