The Ram 1500 features up to 12,750 pounds of towing capability and 2,300 pounds of payload. The eTorque mild hybrid system delivers improved fuel efficiency in both V6 (standard) and V8 configurations. The eTorque mild hybrid system replaces the traditional alternator on the engine with a belt-driven motor generator unit that performs several functions. The motor generator unit works with a 48-volt battery pack to enable seamless start\/stop function, short-duration torque addition to the engine crankshaft in certain driving situations, and brake energy regeneration.<\/span><\/p>\n

With the engine running, eTorque\u2019s motor generator unit feeds 48-volt current to a 430-watt-hour lithium-ion nickel manganese cobalt (NMC)-graphite battery. The small-suitcase-sized, air-cooled battery pack mounts to the rear wall inside the Ram 1500\u2019s cabin. In addition to spinning the engine for restarts, the eTorque unit also recaptures energy during deceleration and braking to feed charge to the battery pack.<\/span><\/p>\n
