This vehicle is a parallel hybrid vehicle. This means that drive is provided by both a traditional internal combustion engine and high voltage electric motor, both of which are connected directly to the transmission. The electric motor is between the engine and gearbox and is also used as a generator, transmission gear synchronisation, reverse gear and pull away. As a high voltage system is also available, the air conditioning compressor, cabin heater are electrically operated rather than engine driven. The power steering pump is also electrically driven rather than engine driven.

E-Motor
This vehicle features an electric motor that is used to perform multiple functions on the vehicle to improve performance and reduce engine load.

Starter Motor
The electric motor itself is used as the starter motor for the engine. When the engine is first started, this will also synchronise the engine, electric motor and transmission.

Initial Pull Away
To allow for smoother pull offs, the electric motor allows the vehicle to move from a stop in first gear up to speeds of 10-15 km/h (6-10 mph) before the clutch is engaged and engine power applied.

Reverse Gear
The transmission itself does not contain a traditional physical reverse gear. Instead, first gear is selected and the electric motor is run backwards to achieve reverse.

Transmission Synchronisation
The electric motor is used to synchronise the speed of the transmission input shaft to the engine speed.
