The Kinetic Energy Recovery System (KERS) was originally introduced in Formula 1 in 2009 (AZoM, 2023). It is an electro-mechanical system for vehicles that works by capturing and converting kinetic energy during braking into electrical energy stored in a battery (Racecar Engineering, 2009). Upon acceleration, the stored energy provides an extra power boost, improving overall vehicle performance and efficiency (Baliga, 2023). The battery, which stores the energy, is connected to an electric motor mounted at one end of the engine crankshaft. The driver will then press a KERS button to activate the stored electrical energy to be used as kinetic energy for additional horsepower for a limited duration (AZoM, 2023). The integration of KERS used in mass-produced cars stands as a transformative advancement by revolutionizing emissions reduction through regenerative braking but also amplifying driving dynamics for users on public roads. This is environmentally friendlier as it can reduce gr...

The Kinetic Energy Recovery System (KERS) is an electromechanical system for vehicles that works by capturing and converting kinetic energy during braking into electrical energy stored in a battery (Racecar Engineering, 2009). Upon acceleration, the stored energy provides an extra power boost, improving overall vehicle performance and efficiency (Ehsani & Mehrjardi, 2022). The integration of KERS which was originally used in F1 cars into mass-produced cars stands as a transformative advancement by revolutionizing emissions reduction through regenerative braking but also amplifying driving dynamics. KERS helps reduce emissions by harnessing and storing energy that would otherwise be wasted during braking, thus improving overall fuel efficiency and reducing the carbon footprint of vehicles (Chandra, et al. 2017). By converting kinetic energy into electrical energy during deceleration and storing it for later use, KERS systems enhance the overall efficiency of vehicles, leading to bet...
