The global automotive kinetic energy recovery system market size was valued at USD 8 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.8% between 2025 and 2034. The integration of KERS with regenerative braking systems converts braking energy into usable power. This integration improves energy efficiency, reduces conventional fuel dependence, and supports global sustainability goals. Automakers now include KERS as a standard feature in hybrid and electric vehicles to comply with emission regulations. The system provides energy savings and improved performance, meeting environmental requirements and regulatory standards.
In June 2023, ZF and Tevva have jointly developed a regenerative braking system that is four times more efficient than traditional systems. This innovation aims to enhance energy recovery and extend the range of electric and hybrid vehicles. The advanced system combines intelligent software with a high-performance drivetrain to maximize braking efficiency and energy recapture. It represents a significant step forward in sustainable vehicle technology.
