The Hybrid Vehicle Demonstrator includes a Hybrid engine, a battery and an Electronic Control Unit, several meters showing power flow between the units, a brake switch and a potentiometer mimicking the accelerator pedal. The system can also be used to show the effects of regenerative braking. Two models are available: a bench top version and a panel mounted version.
