E-Tech full hybrid - maintenance - Renault
simplified maintenance
Our hybrid motors are designed to make maintenance more simple, with fewer mechanical wear parts: clutch, drive belt, etc.
This means maintenance at the same frequency as for a traditional combustion engine, but simplified and with lower costs over the lifetime of your vehicle.
E-Tech full hybrid - advantages - Renault
clear advantages
Full hybrid vehicles offer more dynamic driving than combustion-powered cars, whilst offering additional comfort with less noise, less vibration and no odours, by driving electric.

your questions about E-Tech full hybrid technology

MILD HYBRID, E-TECH FULL HYBRID OR PLUG-IN HYBRID, WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES?
There are 3 categories of hybrid vehicles:
  • full hybrid vehicles, 
  • plug-in hybrid vehicles, 
  • and mild hybrid vehicles.
 
They all have a combustion engine and at least one electric motor, as well as a traction battery. 

But the traction, the type of transmission, the charging method, their fuel consumption and their environmental impact differ. 

A mild hybrid operates with the combustion engine always running, with the electric motor supporting it occasionally. It consumes up to 10% less fuel than an equivalent combustion-powered vehicle. The transmission can be manual or automatic. 

Full hybrid vehicles and plug-in hybrids both alternate intelligently between electric and combustion powertrains.
The difference between them lies in the capacity of their battery and the charging method. 

With E-Tech full hybrid technology, you do not need to plug your vehicle into a socket to get power. You recover energy during driving phases through regenerative braking. This means that you can reduce your fuel consumption by up to 40% and drive electric up to 80% of your journey time in town. 

With E-Tech plug-in hybrid technology, to optimise your consumption, it is important to charge your vehicle daily using a standard socket or at a charging point. With a greater driving range, you can spend most of your everyday journeys driving 100% electric. The technology therefore saves up to 75% fuel (in WLTP cycle).
WHAT IS A HYBRID CAR?
A hybrid car combines two types of powertrain: a combustion engine (petrol) and one or more electric motors. They are combined with a traction battery that stores electrical energy.
