"Hi, I'm Dave Trachtenberg and I'm here to talk to you today about regenerative braking in the Toyota Camry hybrid sedan. Regenerative braking is not something magical or mystical. It's the use of technology to provide a far more efficient braking system. Passenger sedans use mechanical pressure of a brake rotor squeezing against the disc to stop the vehicle. With the Camry hybrid and its regenerative braking system, the first part of the braking is electric resistance, not mechanical pressure. The electric resistance provides about eighty percent of the stopping power on the front disc brakes and then the mechanical pressure completes with the final twenty percent. When a car brakes, heat is produced and the regenerative braking system transfers the energy from the heat created in the braking process, back through the hybrid system to generate electricity for the hybrid battery array. I'm Dave Trachtenberg with Toyota of Tampa Bay and that is the simple working explanation for regenerative braking."
