Is the Engine Auto Start-Stop Technology Fuel-Efficient?
1 Answers
Overall, the engine auto start-stop technology is fuel-efficient, especially in urban or congested road conditions. The engine start-stop technology automatically shuts off the engine when the vehicle comes to a temporary stop (e.g., at a red light). When it's time to move forward again, the system automatically restarts the engine. Here are some details about the engine auto start-stop technology: 1. By integrating an enhanced motor with idle start-stop functionality into a traditional engine, the car can completely shut off the engine when idle stop conditions are met. When the vehicle needs to start moving again, the idle start-stop motor system quickly responds to the driver's command, rapidly restarting the engine for seamless transition, thereby significantly reducing fuel consumption and exhaust emissions. 2. This technology can save up to 5% of fuel under normal driving conditions and up to 15% in congested traffic.
