Mercedes are saying that their latest hybrid F1 V6 engines are up at 45% - 50% efficient (from 30+ % previous best),
They state that this leap in efficiency is mainly due to the thermal energy recovery systems (MGU-H) enabling exhaust heat energy to be recovered and stored in battery and reused to add boost when best determined.
They also mentioned that this technology will be transferred to road cars very soon !
Note: this does not include the energy recovered via the kinetic recovery ( braking) or power contribution from the hybrid electric drive. ,
