The series hydraulic hybrid (SHH)- fuel economy

IBM’s modeling software to develop series hydraulic hybrid systems is being used by Eaton Corporation Replacing a vehicle’s conventional drive train and transmission, the series hydraulic hybrid (SHH) system drastically saves fuel and environmental benefits.Hydraulic pumps and storage tanks are used by the system to capture and store energy, similar to what is done with electric motors and batteries in a hybrid electric vehicle.
This is definitely causing fuel economy, by recovering: vehicle braking energy that normally is wasted; operating the engine more efficiently, and allowing the engine to shut off when stopped or decelerating. Like many of the components that make up today's vehicles, the hydraulic hybrid systems are software intensive.
