The Start/Stop System developed by Bosch offers great benefits in economy for relatively low cost. It can considerably reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emission in urban traffic.
When the vehicle comes to a stand, the engine is automatically switched off after a couple of seconds. The electrical consumer units in the vehicle continue to be supplied with power during the stop and the ongoing energy consumption is monitored. To continue driving, all that is needed to restart the engine is (depending on the operational concept) activation of the clutch pedal. The start/stop system from Bosch can be unproblematically integrated in any vehicle because the components are no larger than traditional ones.
