Recapturing Energy and Channeling Power in the 2023 Ram 1500 in BC

August 23,2023

The 2023 Ram 1500 is a game-changer when it comes to full-size pickup trucks. With features like the eTorque 48-volt mild hybrid system, it stands out from the competition. This innovative system is standard with the 3.6L PentastarTM V6 engine and available with the 5.7L HEMI V8 engine.
The eTorque system is a mild hybrid system that uses a 48-volt battery-powered motor-generator unit to work in conjunction with the engine. It works by capturing energy that’s typically lost during deceleration or braking and stores it in a lithium-ion battery pack. 
This stored energy is then used to assist the engine at low speeds, providing up to 130 lb-ft of launch torque to the vehicle. This results in a more efficient start-stop system, smoother shifts, and improved fuel economy.
When towing or hauling heavy loads, the eTorque system truly shines. The extra power provided by the motor-generator unit allows the vehicle to maintain momentum even when hauling a heavy load. The eTorque system is most noticeable when putting the Ram 1500 into gear, where you’ll feel the extra shove provided by the electric motor, giving you the boost you need to start moving forward.
