Dacia hybrid technologies

Get the best of both worlds without changing your habits!
How does it work?
Hybrid combines a conventional petrol engine with an electric motor that serves multiple functions.      
Technologie Full hybrid - Dacia Duster
Hybrid 140 - Full Hybrid
Composition
  • 1 combustion engine
  • 2 electric motors (generator and motor)
  • 1 self-charging 230 V traction battery 
 
Charging the battery
No need to plug in, the battery charges itself as you drive using the energy recovered during braking and deceleration.
How it works
The main electric motor supports occasional full electric driving and assists the combustion engine the rest of the time.
The second motor converts the recovered energy into electricity to power and charge the battery.
Advantages

  • Consistent starts in full electric mode
  • Save up to 40% on fuel and lower your CO2 emissions compared to an equivalent petrol engine
  • Drive 100% electric for 80% of your driving in town

TCe 130 - MILD HYBRID
Composition
  • 1 combustion engine
  • 1 electric motor
  • 1 self-charging battery
 
Charging the battery
No need to plug in, the battery charges itself as you drive using the energy recovered during braking and deceleration.
Technologie Mild hybrid - Dacia Duster
How it works
The internal combustion engine gets extra torque from the starter-generator when driving is most energy-intensive, such as starts or accelerations.
It also helps recharge the 48 V traction battery.
Advantage

Reduce your fuel consumption and your CO2 emissions by up to 10% compared to an equivalent petrol engine.

Do you have any more questions?
What is the lifespan of the Dacia Hybrid motor battery?
The traction battery of your Duster hybrid system is under warranty for 8 years or 160,000 km.     
Can Dacia Hybrid cars travel long distances?
Yes. Depending on use, the driving range of a hybrid vehicle is greater than that of a combustion-powered or electric car, since you can alternate between multiple energy sources.      
Whats is the Duster Mild Hybrid motor?
You cannot drive in full electric mode with the Duster mild hybrid powertrains. 
It involves mild hybridisation of the vehicle, which provides assistance to the combustion engine only during starting and acceleration to reduce consumption and improve performance. 
It therefore offers more flexible and dynamic driving while providing fuel savings compared with an equivalent non-electrified petrol engine.
How do you recharge the battery in Dacia Hybrid cars?
It’s so easy! With hybrid vehicle batteries (full or mild hybrid), you don’t need any special connectors. They recharge automatically as you drive when the vehicle brakes or decelerates.
