In the late 1980s, many cars now had wide front tires and it was difficult to route hydraulic lines from the engine bay to the front of the vehicle and the rack. Many of the first systems were electro-hydraulic with a electric motor powering a hydraulic pump. The ABS module can also apply the brakes to steer the vehicle.

Going this far would be unimaginable for most internal combustion powered vehicles. When you hit the brake pedal on most internal combustion vehicles, hydraulic pressure is generated by the master cylinder and sent to the calipers. The hydraulic pressure causes the calipers to clamp down on the brake pads and rotor.

A hybrid vehicle recharges its high voltage battery through the use of regenerative braking. With regenerative braking, instead of just wasting that energy by releasing it into the air, the vehicle takes it and places it in a box in the back of a car to save it as stored energy. Here’s the short answer.
