When the all-new Jazz launches later this year it will drive advanced Honda hybrid innovation from the racetrack to the road.
Using engineering expertise from its motorsport team, Honda is drawing knowledge from its Formula 1™ Hybrid Power Unit (PU) programme to improve the energy efficiency of the brand's e:HEV hybrid system.
The latest Honda Formula 1 Hybrid Power Unit, named RA620H, uses a highly efficient 1600cc six-cylinder internal combustion engine, combined with an Energy Recovery System. The advanced hybrid electrical systems ingeniously recycle energy produced by the brakes and exhaust gases to generate extra boost power for acceleration and to reduce turbo lag. Last season, Honda's Hybrid Power Unit helped its partner teams, Aston Martin Red Bull Racing and Scuderia Toro Rosso (now known as Scuderia AlphaTauri), achieve a total of three race wins and six podium places.
