Dubbed KERS, for Kinetic Energy Recovery System, the powerplant designed to recapture energy lost during braking or coasting.
Of all the new regulations being implemented for 2009, the Kinetic Energy Recovery System (Kers) presents constructors with the biggest test.
The model will be fitted with a Kers system, short for Kinetic Energy Recovery System, that has been developed by the Formula 1 industry.
New regulations for 2009 will see the return of slick tyres, the introduction of the new kinetic energy recovery system (Kers) and aerodynamic alterations.
The technology in question is KERS (kinetic energy recovery system) for capturing and storing the car's braking energy instead of wasting it as heat.
Slick, untreaded tyres will also be reintroduced after 11 years on grooved tyres and teams have the option of employing a kinetic energy recovery system.

Hamilton, 24, said the Kers (Kinetic Energy Recovery System) power-boost system - which Ferrari are also using - proved "anything can happen" and the Briton is optimistic he can replicate the pace he found in Hungary.
Williams are testing a flywheel kinetic energy recovery system - the device that stores energy under braking - and have set up a company to develop the technology both for Formula One and further applications outside the sport.
Red Bull will accept that they are likely to get passed by a McLaren or Kimi Raikkonen's Ferrari, who have the benefit of the kinetic energy recovery system (Kers) power boost on the run down to the first corner.
The new developments include a switch to slick tyres from the grooved ones of recent years, and the introduction of the kinetic energy recovery system (Kers), which stores energy recovered from the rear axle during braking and converts it to supply a brief power boost.
They include changes to the aerodynamics, the re-introduction of slick, untreaded tyres after 11 years with grooved rubber and the potential use of a kinetic energy recovery system (Kers), which stores energy that would have been dissipated during braking and reapplies it while the car is accelerating.
