First Claim
Patent Images
1. A display system for a vehicle comprising:
- an information display including an energy recovered indicator; and
a controller configured to;
determine an energy recovered value based at least in part upon information relating to a braking system; and
transmit a signal indicative of the energy recovered value so that the information display shows the energy recovered indicator based upon the energy recovered value.

Abstract
An information display configured to display one or more energy efficiency values of a vehicle. The information display system may comprise an information display configured to display an energy recovered indicator corresponding to a ratio of the braking energy recovered using a regenerative braking system. The information display may include both an overall energy recovered indicator and an instantaneous energy recovered indicator.

12. A display system for a vehicle comprising:
-
an information display including at least one energy recovered indicator; and a controller configured to; receive information corresponding to a braking system of the vehicle, wherein the braking system includes a friction braking system and a regenerative braking system; determine an at least one energy recovered percentage based upon operation of the regenerative braking system and the friction braking system; and transmit the at least one energy recovered percentage so that the information display shows the at least one energy recovered indicator based upon the at least one energy recovered percentage. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A method for displaying information pertaining to energy efficiency of a vehicle, the method comprising:
-
determining an overall energy recovered value based upon an amount of energy recaptured by a regenerative braking system during deceleration of the vehicle; and transmitting a signal indicative of the overall energy recovered value to an information display having a first energy recovered indicator associated with the overall energy recovered value. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
