I'm not sure on the exact tie-in for the electric motor.If I were designing it, the motor/generator would probably replace the torque convertor. Is that how they do it? For the mild hybrids, I don’t see any significant improvement in economy figures, certainly not compared to some rival vehicles that would suit most of the same customers.
Like you say, not a noticeable improvement in overall economy, but they do allow a significant pure electric range (one of the very best I believe), and they allow huge and instantaneously responsive performance for such massive vehicles.
