What is the Engine Start-Stop Technology Called?
1 Answers
Engine automatic start-stop technology is a system that can automatically control engine shutdown and ignition, known in English as STOP&START, abbreviated as STT. Below is an introduction to the engine start-stop technology: Function of the Technology: Engine start-stop technology automatically shuts off the engine when the vehicle comes to a temporary stop (e.g., at a red light) during driving. When it's time to move forward again, the system automatically restarts the engine. Working Principle: When the vehicle stops due to traffic congestion or at an intersection, the driver presses the brake pedal and shifts to neutral. At this point, the Start/Stop system automatically checks: the engine is idling and not in gear; the wheel speed sensors of the anti-lock system show zero; the electronic battery sensor indicates sufficient energy for the next start. Once these three conditions are met, the engine automatically stops.
