Current 120kw kers systems weigh up to 30kg so we would expect an additional front kers system which makes use of the existing energy storage system ess and consists of 2 x 60kw motors and driveshafts to come in at less than 50kg.

F1 kers system. Kers was used to capture waste energy created while braking. A kinetic energy recovery system. Kinetic energy recovery systems kers are systems used in formula 1 vehicles ex.

The fia rules governing kers are fairly simple but very restrictive. It will be renamed to ers k for the 2014 season. From this season teams are allowed to use kers to draw 60 kw of energy from the rear axle on the car which can be stored up to.

Although not used in 2010 kers made a return to the sport in 2011. However he couldnt have foreseen just how directly his hopes for the initiative would be turned into reality. The more efficient the kers system is the lower the heat losses with the renault f1 system achieving over 70 round trip efficiency from capturing energy at the rear axle converting it to electricity storing it in the battery pulling it out of the battery and then finally converting it to energy at the rear axle again.

Car speed plotted on top of racing line viewer to compare 2018 and 2021 cars around barcelona. A race car in order to recover kinetic energy for future use.
