No, it means that they can be different at each axle... you can have a Flywheel KERS at the front axle, while electric generators at the rear axle.. that is what i read. And account by that reading i cannot understand how 4WD can be excluded.
"
Maximum quantity of energy released between two braking phases to be 500 kJ. "
Means that KERS or electric battery and or a hydraulic pressure tank, in the total they cannot exceed that amount of energy. If energy storage is that amount, additional energy release cannot exceed that point... yet it doesn't account for continuous operation from generation to motor, because if generation accounts for a certain loss, motoring upon that generation can never exceed the loss... if 2th law of thermodynamics is to be correct... otherwise ACO doesn't guide itself by the accepted physical laws.
Funny thing ( those ACO guys are in disarray)
"
Other means of energy recovery will be allowed: exhaust, engine heat, dampers, "etc." provided that they respect the specifications drawn up by the ACO (safety considerations, banning of driver aids, evaluation of the increases provided by the systems, the reduction in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions)."
Would make it possible to include the most efficient method of all, hydraulic recovery... transporting to day by day cars will open the way for Hydromechanical IVTs... providing a significative boost in fuel economy and efficiency(Honda as such a transmission in commercial motorbykes) ... yet
"
Energy recovery systems using brakes must not be active during braking for curves (driver aids banned)."
Excludes the most significative way of hydraulic energy recovery, because a hydraulic pump/motor at pumping upon braking, acts as a very efficient braking auxiliary... or putting it another way, why would anyone brake if not for a curve.. in normal conditions... what are those guys smoking !!!
The same goes for electromagnetic brake/generators !!!...
gee!! ... how could additional braking action, be any different from a bigger and or more efficient traditional braking setup ???... the driver putting his feet on the ground to help braking is also forbidden( can't help himself)!... seems a greased scum is whispering at their ears... else they have coca and whisky parties at those meetings!!!...
