Smart Regenerative System
What is the Smart Regenerative System?
The Smart Regenerative System is an intelligent system that:
- Recovers part of the energy normally lost during deceleration and braking
- Converts kinetic energy into electrical energy, stored in the battery
- Helps increase vehicle range and reduce CO2 emissions
- Is adjustable across three levels, selectable by the driver based on driving conditions and personal preferences
- Allows the combustion engine to generate electrical energy and maintain battery charge while driving.
In practice, the Smart Regenerative System makes driving more efficient, eco-friendly, and controlled, using every mile to recover energy.
How does regenerative braking work in hybrid cars?
Regenerative braking in hybrid cars is a technology that converts energy normally lost during deceleration into electrical energy, helping to recharge the battery and make driving more efficient. When you release the accelerator or apply light braking, the electric motor reverses its function and becomes a generator. The kinetic energy from the wheels is converted into electrical energy and stored in the battery. An electronic system (ECU) manages the intensity, integration with mechanical brakes, and braking safety.
Benefits:
- Recovery of up to 30% of energy in urban driving
- Reduced wear on brake pads
- Optimized fuel consumption, particularly in urban traffic
- Ability to adjust regeneration levels for a personalized driving style
How do you activate regenerative braking?
Regenerative braking in hybrid cars activates automatically when you release the accelerator or lightly press the brake pedal. The electric motor reverses the wheel motion, converting kinetic energy into electrical energy without manual intervention from the driver.
ThermoHybrid Technology (LPG)
What does ThermoHybrid engine mean?
ThermoHybrid technology from Sportequipe combines a gasoline engine with LPG fuel, offering a versatile, efficient, and more sustainable mobility solution compared to traditional engines. This technology allows the vehicle to alternate or combine the two fuels based on driving needs, optimizing consumption, performance, and environmental impact.
What are the benefits of LPG for Sportequipe cars?
Choosing a Sportequipe car with LPG power means getting several practical and economic benefits:
- Savings on fuel: up to 60% less than petrol
- Car tax incentives: exemptions or reductions that vary depending on your municipality or region of residence
- Better environmental efficiency: lower emissions compared to petrol-only engines
- Flexibility and range: the ability to use both LPG and petrol without limitations.
Do gasoline/LPG cars pay stamp duty?
If you purchase a gasoline/LPG vehicle with a factory-installed system, you may benefit from reductions or exemptions on vehicle tax, depending on the regulations of the region where you reside.
In many Italian regions, reductions or total exemptions are provided, but the rules vary by territory: it is therefore advisable to check the specific provisions of your region of residence to know exactly which tax benefits apply to your LPG vehicle.
In summary:
- you don’t always pay vehicle tax as you would for a standard gasoline car;
- many regions offer tax benefits for LPG vehicles;
- the amount and duration of the benefits depend on regional regulations.
How much can I save with LPG fuel?
With LPG fuel you save up to 60% on refueling costs compared to gasoline. Plus, your range increases significantly: with the dual tank (gasoline + LPG) you can drive over 1,000 km without refueling. Add to this potential exemptions or reductions on road tax depending on your region of residence.

How long is the Sportequipe warranty?
