The Silverado Hybrid features an engine start/stop system that automatically shuts the engine off to save fuel when braking at speeds below 13 mph — or when the vehicle is not moving. When the brake pedal is released, the accelerator is pressed or the Tow/Haul button is pressed, the engine automatically restarts.

Silverado Hybrid is so intelligently built, its regenerative braking takes some of the energy from the moving vehicle and turns it back into electrical energy — which is stored in the Energy Storage Module.
