n. Abbreviation for Energy Recovery System. An automotive technology that recovers kinetic energy from braking or heat energy from exhaust gases to provide additional power. Typically used in Formula 1 to supplement the internal combustion engine.
Examples
“The driver used the ERS to overtake on the straight.”
“During the final laps, the engineer advised the driver to manage the ERS carefully to defend their position.”
“Modern hybrid racing power units integrate ERS to improve thermal efficiency, converting energy that would otherwise be lost as heat into a deployable electrical boost.”
