The Active Hybrid System in the BMW i8 is a combination of an electric motor and a traditional gas engine working together to optimize fuel efficiency. The electric motor assists the gas engine during acceleration and deceleration, while also providing power for low-speed, electric-only driving. The system also uses regenerative braking to recharge the battery.
