McPherson strut suspension is a particular form of independent suspension used on the front axle of a car. The McPherson strut joins the wheel carrier to the car body. The functions of the suspension strut are to cushion the car, to limit bounce (tension and compression), to damp oscillation, to hold the suspension strut mount connecting to the body, and to transmit the steering motion. The use of lightweight, high-strength materials reduces the unsprung masses, thereby enhancing performance and ride comfort. The benefits of this system are its space and weight-saving design allied to its large amounts of compression.

Recuperation recycles the energy normally lost during braking by storing and then using it for acceleration or starting, so saving fuel and cutting emissions.

When you're trying to save energy while driving it makes sense to recover it where you can. One way we've done this is to raise the alternator voltage when slowing down and braking. This increases battery charging and helps the car slow down. The alternator load is then reduced when accelerating to lighten the burden on the engine and cut fuel consumption. Recuperation is a feature of some of our BlueMotion cars.
