This article explores the potential of regenerative braking systems for improving the energy efficiency of passenger cars in urban environments. The advantage of electric systems, their high efficiency (up to 85 %), is discussed. A mathematical model is developed that evaluates recovered energy and fuel consumption, taking into account key operating parameters. It is found that regenerative braking efficiency is highest at speeds of 60-80 km/h and high braking frequency. The implementation of such systems has been shown to provide fuel savings of up to 30 % in urban driving, confirming their high efficiency.
