Even in this situation, i.e., even when using ABS, the electric motors continue to recuperate at the same performance level. The transition from electric brake recuperation via the electric drive systems to mechanical braking via the hydraulically actuated friction brakes is imperceptible to the driver. Brake blending ensures a well-controlled pedal feeling with a clearly defined, constant pressure point. As is typical for Audi, the Audi A6 e-tron also gives the driver the option of two-stage recuperation, adjustable via the paddles on the steering wheel with a deceleration of up to 1.5 m/s2. Coasting is also possible. Here, the vehicle rolls freely when the driver removes their foot from the accelerator, without additional friction torque. As an additional option, the Audi A6 e-tron has driving mode B, which comes very close to what is commonly called the “one-pedal feeling”. This mode offers the strongest recuperation. In combination with predictive driving, driving mode B lets the driver perform nearly all braking maneuvers without using the brake pedal. If the driver selects the automatic function in the MMI, the vehicle recuperates automatically. It uses parameters such as the route data stored in the navigation system, including incline, curve radii, city signs, and speed limits. Another important factor is the traffic on the road ahead. Several components are integrated into the recuperation process: the two electric motors, the HCP5 and HCP1 computers, the long-range radar, and the front camera for adaptive cruise control to scan the traffic on the road ahead, the integrated brake control system (iBS) for brake control and blending, i.e., to transition between the friction brakes and recuperation, and the HCP3, so that the recuperation performance is visible to the driver in the Audi virtual cockpit. The A6 e-tron also features an electronic brake control system. The technology combines the brake booster and ABS/ESC controls in one system component.
