For the new Jogger Hybrid 140, Dacia has relied on proven hybrid technology from Groupe Renault.
The hybrid engine of the newcomer from Dacia takes advantage of an architecture designed to be simple and intelligent, as well as specific processes on the test benches to make the engine reliable and sustainable.
The 1.6 petrol engine is combined with two electric motors, a 36 kw (49 hp) engine, a high-voltage starter/generator of the Hsg (High-Voltage Starter Generator) type and an innovative multi-mode transmission with dog clutch without clutch.
The combination of electric motors and dog clutch transmission allows for optimized and smoother gear changes.
By associating two electric motors, a multi-mode transmission and a thermal engine, a great variety of operating modes is obtained, starting with the 100% electric traction at start-up.
In fact, the absence of the clutch allows 100% electric starting without resorting to the internal combustion engine.
The hybrid technology applied to Jogger also allows for automatic adaptation to driving situations: this technology is based on a series-parallel architecture which combines the advantages of the different types of hybridisation possible (series, parallel and series-parallel).
The motors are able to work independently or jointly by directing energy to the wheels or the battery.
The power train manages the engines and their contribution according to any acceleration or power needs as well as battery regeneration needs.
This management involves 15 different combinations of operation between the engines and the gear ratios engaged.
During use, changes in operating modes are almost imperceptible and require no intervention by the driver.
The system automatically chooses the most suitable mode for the situation to best optimize emissions and fuel consumption, while ensuring responsive and pleasant driving.
The technology also makes it possible to optimize energy in the deceleration and braking phases.
When the driver takes his foot off the accelerator and the shift lever is in Drive, the main electric motor acts as a generator.
It recovers the kinetic energy produced by deceleration by transforming it into electrical energy to be sent back to the battery.
To recover more energy, it is possible to move the gear lever to the Brake position (B).
