The beauty of Hybrid technology is its efficient use of energy. The Durango HEMI® Hybrid harnesses energy that would normally be wasted during driving and works it back into the system.
When Durango HEMI® Hybrid is idling slowly, or when the driver lifts their foot off the accelerator, energy is produced and used to recharge the battery pack. For top fuel efficiency, the electric motor generates electricity when the brakes are applied and stores and uses that energy to accelerate the vehicle during stop-and-go traffic and to assist the gas engine when necessary. This Regenerative Braking System works seamlessly with standard Electronic Stability Control (ESP)[1] and an electronically controlled transfer case to ensure maximum control.
Regenerative Braking
Braking or releasing the accelerator creates energy that is efficiently reused./shared/2009/durango/hybrid/useful_energy/primary/regenerative_braking_dur_09.swftrue- /shared/2009/durango/hybrid/useful_energy/primary/regenerative_braking_dur_09.flv

- Electronic air conditioner

While the two-mode system provides the most efficient ride possible, the electronic air conditioning system ensures uninterrupted interior comfort. In addition a humidity sensor, attached to the rearview mirror base, detects humidity and optimizes the dehumidifying effect of the A/C system while reducing compressor power consumption.
