What is Engine Auto Start-Stop Technology?

[DiAthena]

Engine auto start-stop technology is a system that automatically shuts off the engine when the vehicle comes to a temporary stop (such as at a red light) and restarts it when it's time to move forward again. During red lights or traffic jams, the system minimizes engine idling time to reduce unnecessary fuel consumption. Additionally, shutting off the engine when stopped effectively reduces noise and vibration, providing a better driving experience. In automobiles, the start-stop system can automatically turn off and restart the internal combustion engine to reduce idle time, thereby decreasing fuel consumption and emissions. This is particularly beneficial for vehicles that spend a lot of time waiting at traffic lights or frequently stopping in traffic congestion. With increasingly stringent government regulations on fuel economy and emissions, start-stop technology is likely to become more widespread.
